Contrary to what i’d heard, Flores is not half submerged in water (hugh) or an enchanting island (david). so far, it seems like a nice layover, but maybe not a destination. (i enjoyed coban more). but let’s start with the good:
\n1) the wifi at this hotel is insanely fast — faster than even at home…and is finally letting me upload all the timelapse photos (minus a few days, which i accidentally lost).
\n2) the lake is beautiful, warm and calming.<\/p>\n
but the….less….good:
\n1) its very hot and humid. you sweat just sitting still. i thought i might be exaggerating (being from the cool san franciscan climate), but even the locals are complaining.
\n2) about 3 months ago, they decided to put all the power lines underground. so all the streets and sidewalks are torn-up. it’s a bit like walking around on a snow day (very few cars), only there are huge holes you can fall into. as one of the locals notes, it’s kinda stupid that they started this construction right before the rainy season.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
