Thanks,

This is first time in my life when I don’t know what to say. After reading all comments I’m shocked. What has happened with our society, with our young generation? They are commenting terrible information, their lexis sounds terrible. Is that true, that only words they know is “cool”, “cute” and cussing words? What are they thinking of? It’s better not to think about it, it’s too sad

I wonder why so many people like to comment stuff. Why is this kind of spending your free time so popular? Maybe people have a lack of communication in real world? Maybe that’s because they have a lot of problems in reality and want to run away from them? Maybe they need new impressions and experience? Or they just got suck here? I don’t have a clue. What do you all think?

Lost paradise….that’s true! I spent 2 weeks there in Flores, did an overland trip together with nice people, Dino introduced to me while having BBQ together with his friends in his house.It was wonderful and very interesting to experience Flores like that. Even though Dino knows a lot about culture and all the places worth to see.
Thanks for an unforgetable vacation!
And say hello to everybody in your house!

Hai Dino…
Apa kabar?
Pengalaman jalan2 ke Flores May 2009 lalu saya tulis di blog saya http://yeniunique.wordpress.com/ (di Travelling & Places, Judulnya: Sejuta Pesona Flores Part 1: Dari Maumere ke Moni, dan Sejuta Pesona Flores Part 2: Bajawa hingga Labuhan Bajo)
Guess what?? Udah beberapa orang minta nomor contact kamu ke saya. Mudah-mudahan mereka jadi ke Flores dan menghubungi kamu ya…
Cheers,
Unique

Hi travellers,
If you are looking for an authantic and original holiday destination get in touch with Dino from beautiful indonesian island Flores.
The island is full of unique traditional culture still being “lived” by local people,amazing natural scenery and friendly,smily flores people.
Dino is not only a competent driver and guide but also a person with lots of the local knowledge.
Thanks to Dino my time in Flores was fun, learning experience and adventure all in one!
I would highly recommend Dino to everybody, who travells around Flores and who wants to know more than what a guide book tells you.

Voilà nous terminons aujourd’hui notre séjour avec Dino (10 jours).
Nous l’avons trouvé grâce à son site web.Après échange de quelques mails son offre nous apparut attractive et avons franchi le pas. Je dis bien franchi le pas car c’est la première fois que nous partions avec un guide chauffeur indépendant.
Il est clair qu’envoyer comme cela de l’argent par western union à quelqu’un à l’autre bout du monde a quelque chose d’un peu angoissant.Bref nous l’avons fait.
A l’arrivée notre stupéfaction est totale , nous avons affaire avec un professionnel qui va jusqu’à s’excuser par sms de quelques minutes de retard sur l’horaire indiqué! Je peux vous dire qu’en Indonesie c’est du luxe!
Le voyage commence donc et on constate qu’on a au volant un excellent chauffeur qui conduit prudemment et efficacement.
L’arrivée à Moni et le Kalimutu sont un ravissement!Puis s’enchainent Riung avec le parc national des 17 iles à l’occasion duquel Dino s’occupe de nous organiser un barbecue sur une ile déserte, on rêve éveillé.Dino est au petits soins pour nous; il cherche tout le temps à optimiser notre plaisir et notre bien etre.Les autres sites defilent au fur et à mesure et à chaque fois la presence discrete et l’efficacité de Dino font que notre voyage se deroule dans de parfaites conditions;il n’essaie jamais d’imposer mais de suggerer et conseiller par rapport à nos desirs et centres d’interet.
Nous sommes un couple la soixantaine commençante c’est notre 6eme voyage en Asie et le 2eme en Indonesie.
Si vous avez envie de visiter Flores et de vous impregner de la culture locale alors n’hesitez pas et faites confiance à cet homme les yeux fermés.
Hi Dino it would be too long to translate what I have writen! To make a shortcut your the best driver and guide we never have.Hope we will see you again and become friends. Marco and Bernadette
