Labuan Bajo, NTT, 27-30 March 2025

We impromptu bought the ticket for this trip on the day we knew it was on sale for $99. But eventually, we got it for $130ish per pax under Jetstar as this is a new route they opened this year.

We quickly settled our hotel and decided to get this Santorini look a like one for $100 per night.

Second day we engaged local travel to send us island hopping by speedboat.

1. Padar Island

2. Pink beach

3. Komodo Island

4. Snorkling at Manta Point. - which I didn't go and I just stayed on the boat.

Third day, we rented a car with a driver to go around the main island. We went to Bukit Silvia, Mirror Cave, and Puncak Waringin.

The food there was good. I like the moringa rice and crispy pork at La Moringa. My second favorite is Pondok Mai-Cenggo.

Overall it's value for money holiday. Total I spent below SGD $1K for the whole trip.

 

Red shoes

 I added 2 pairs red shoes again to the family.

I had been waiting this moment for a life time. Tintin has been always my favorite character. I had my first Tintin comic when I was in primary school. The comic was The Blue Lotus. I had complete collection of Tintin Comics. 

By visiting this museum, I understand the background of each Tintin adventure. It's amazing master piece of Herge. Herge apparently is not a name. But it is initial of the author. R.G. Remi Georges. 

I remember vividly every evening before sleep, I read one of my Tintin's collection and fell asleep. So each of Tintin's adventure book, I read at least 30x.
