http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Flores is a poor island with very few tourists. Only people who work for the government, Civil Service, and Chinese businessmen do well. A Catholic island thanks to the Portuguese who arrived in 1512 and stayed until the 17th century when the Dutch kicked them out. We set out with new guide Ricardos on the Trans-Flores Highway heading to Ruteng, the first large town near Labuhanbajo. A volcanic island that has rich soil but with mountains covering 80% of Flores, most of the land isn't farmable. Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
