This phone camera video - apologies for the quality - shows the view from Labuanbajo on the western tip of the indonesian island of Flores.

From this little port you take a fishing boat across the water you see, for about 2 hours, to visit the homes on Rinca Island or Komodo Island of the famous Komodo Dragons. The ones we saw are two or three metres long, eat buffalo and deer, have venomous saliva and live in the wild.

It is a World Heritage Site, the guides take you around armed with long forked sticks, but they know exactly where the dragons are.

We saw a female digging her burrow for the eggs she was about to lay. See our website www.MelbourneToLondon.com and in a day or two when we get to stop and rest up Jack will post some great photos he took of the dragons.
