August 26: Another Indonesian island with excellent snorkeling opportunities (say I unenthusiastically). However, this one - formed by the eruption of an ancient volcano - has some good hiking, an inland crater lake, nice scenery, and an astonishing profusion of fruit bats. So I'm happy.
A member of the crew waiting to zodiac us from the ship to the island.
The first part of the hike from the shore to the crater's edge is - rather surprisingly - paved.
A pretty view of the lake through the trees
We've seen fruit bats before, but never in this number or density. Where do they get their food?
More fruit bats, at the other side of the island
Our ship, artfully framed by branches as seen from the top of the island
Another view of Pan Orama II, at the island's edge
A rather dramatic sunset
