Eps 17 - Touring Flores - Ende: The Amalfi of Flores? - Around Indonesia on my Small Motorcycle

[@stevencampbell8465]

Roadworks take a LONG time to complete. When I passed that way in February they were well underway - and it looks like they are still well underway. When I went through the traffic jam was pretty intense. Beautiful stretch of coast as you say.

Hi Daniel, I am back home and catching up with your adventures that I missed while being wrapped up in my own ...watching on the big TV ... looks good. There was roadworks going on in that section of road when I was there 5 years ago but not to the extent of the project now ... those cliffs are very prone to landslides. I agree, once it is finished it will be a great ride ...when I rode through there a Komodo Dragon with half-a-tail dashed across the road in front of me.

Thanks for watching Richard. Waaa, I was hoping to come across a Komodo along the way, but only got to see a few big monitor lizards in Sumbawa. I got a few intense rides coming up in the weeks ahead that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Now trying to catch up on my editing for the next couple of days. Cheers!!

Rode through there a few months ago. A 2 hour delay west of Ende on one day as they had scheduled road maintenance closures I didn't know about. Really liked the blue stone beach roadside stop.

[@jekyllsride]

Yeah, they weren’t done yet when I went through, but it’ll be a great road when it’s finished!

[@jekyllsride]

Cheers! Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy the videos!

Roadworks take a LONG time. I travelled this road in Feb this year and they were well underway. Looks like they are still well underway! Beautiful stretch of coast as you say

[@jekyllsride]

Waaa, mind you, it' not easy to build a road in these conditions, with the rainy season wiping it out every year, hehe.

[@nonixpam]

good solid and cheap souvenir, hehheheh

[@jekyllsride]

Yup, and it'll last forever, hehe

[@walterdavey4196]

[@jekyllsride]

Yes, this episode (to Larantuka) coming soon. You are going to love it. Hopefully for you, by next year the roads will be completed. That will be a great ride. Thanks for watching
