Indonesia, Bali and Flores

Ciao
More or less everybody had once heared something about Bali.
I knew its a Island in Indonesia but i didn't know more about it. Book a flight and check it out was the plan.
After a few days in Singapore was the time to go back to the airport and fly down to this place.
In Indonesia was a visa required. I could pay the USD 25 with a "Visa on arrival"
On the way to the Passcontrol was clear. This is gonna be a very touristy place. All the Tourinformations with diffrent types of advertising were everywhere.
After i graped my backpack was the next step: How can i go to the centre. And where to stay?
The only way to leave the airport was by taxi. Ok so far so good. But how much does it cost?
The first few agressive taxi driver tryed to give me a good deal. They said USD 25 is a good price for the Kuta beach. The closest city from the airport. The ride is goona take 45 min was their comment. I didn't belive it and looked for other options. so i found a moto taxi. I paid USD 4 for the 15 min ride to Kuta.
Now i know here they try to rip the tourist off.
The next day i went to the Kuta Beach for a swim. There were a few waves and a crowdet beach. Many people arround and every 5 min tried somebody to sell anything.
This kind of beach is not my favorit. I went back to my hotel and rented a moto for 3 days. I wanted to discover the island. The first day i went down to the south. This place was much better. Big waves for the surfers and cool chillout bars for to see the sunset was there.
the next two days was for to see the highland and the northern beaches. To drive a moto in Indonesia is quiet a challange. but funny (-;
After three days Bali i had enough. I have to go somewhere else...
Ok just do it: Lets go to Flores and Komodo Island was the next plan.
I booked a flight and went to Flores. A Island 1.5 hours flight from Bali.
This place was just amazing. On the way to the Labuanbajo we saw many small islands on the way.
