Near the football field in Ende stands a big breadfruit tree. Under the tree, Soekarno often sat, working on political ideas to lead Indonesia to independence. Those reflection contributed to the opening of Pancasila concept, which is now the state philosophy of Indonesia. From here Pancasila was born. Today, Pancasila Birth Monument stands on this place.

| | Kelimutu is a volcano, close to the town of Moni in central Flores Island of Indonesia containing three summit crater lakes of varying colors. Tiwu Ata Mbupu (Lake of Old People) is usually blue and is the westernmost of the three lakes. The other two lakes, Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (Lake of Young Men and Maidens) and Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched or Enchanted Lake) are separated by a shared crater wall and are typically green or red in color, respectively. The lake colors do vary on a periodic basis. Subaqueous fumaroles are the probable cause of active upwelling that occurs at the two eastern lakes.[1]
The lake have been a source of minor phreatic eruptions in historical time. The summit of the compound 1639-m-high Kelimutu volcano is elongated two km in a WNW-ESE direction; the older cones of Kelido and Kelibara are located respectively three km to the north and two km to the south.
The scenic lakes are a popular tourist destination.

A short walk through a foggy bamboo forest brings us to the site of Old Wogo where the ancestral megaliths (basically piles of large rock shards) of the current village still reside, one for each family group. For the Ngada, the family megalith provides an unmoving reference point from which to draw a sense of identity and belonging even if one moves away to a distant city.

Setibanya di Pulau Kepa, gue ber-3 [Pak Eli, Romeo & Gue] langsung ke Le Petite Kepa; sebuah resort yang dikelola oleh sepasang orang Perancis yang sudah tinggal 6 tahun bersama putrinya di pulau ini.
Rupanya semua cottage yang dibuat seperti bangunan tradisionil ini telah penuh diisi oleh para turis [Poland, British, France & American] rupanya mereka sudah berhari-hari disini untuk diving. Ada turis yang bahkan gak pernah ke Bali, apalagi ke Jakarta. |
