In Reply to: first time Bali, Flores - few questions posted by Fina on Friday, 20. July 2007 at 09:14 Bali Time:
I've stayed at Golo Hilltop and it was basic, but acceptable. The good thing is that it is close to the bar on the hill called Paradise Bar. Great little bar with good atmosphere and sensational sunset.
We snorkelled around the area and it was fabulous. We met others that were diving and they said it was sensational. The whole vibe of the place is very nice and you'll definitely have a good time.
When we flew from Labuanbajo to Denpasar, the airline was unbranded. Apparently the old one went bust and some random was operating the route. So whatever airline you get, it's bound to be some rundown job that wouldn't be allowed to fly in the western world. Also, the weighing of passengers was mandatory along with the weighing of luggage. A real hoot!
I'd recommend visiting some of the islands around the area such as Seraya Kecil. Great basic accommodation and a very relaxed atmosphere.
