First sight of the Komodo island in the distance.

Getting closer to the dragon island.

Strange seas..



Basin - captain on the boat we chartered for three days to go Sumbawa-Komodo-Rinca-Flores.

Antes - the mechanic.

A couple 3 meter dragons were hanging around by the ranger camp.

Staffan admiring the beast.









They walk fairly upright - not dragging the belly on the ground - and can run up to 20km/h on shorter distances..

Unless they're a bit tired of course! (notice Edel keeping very good distance :-))

Sleepy dragon..
