Labuan Bajo is a small fishing village on the island of Flores, which in recent years has become a tourist destination for the surrounding islands of Rinca, Komodo and Padar. Although quirky and charming, it mainly consists of a port and a long street surrounded by shops, tourist agencies and restaurants. I also treated it like this and after a walk along the waterfront, I bought a two-day ship cruise at one of the many tourist offices.
