Food Coma

Bowen Mercy

After a long journey battling rough seas, unpredictable winds, and dodging countless FADs, we finally made our way down the east coast of Flores toward Labuan Bajo. The coastline was rugged and dramatic, with towering cliffs, lush green hills, and tiny fishing villages dotting the shore. We sailed past remote islands, stopping occasionally to rest and take in the beauty of this untouched part of Indonesia. By the time we reached Labuan Bajo, we were more than ready for a break. The anchorage was bustling with dive boats and liveaboards, a stark contrast to the quiet, isolated places we’d been. Stepping ashore, we wandered into town, soaking in the mix of local charm and tourism. And then—western food! After weeks of local meals (delicious but repetitive), sinking our teeth into a burger and fries felt like pure bliss. A proper coffee, a pizza, even a cold beer—small comforts we didn’t realize we missed so much. Labuan Bajo felt like a reward, a place to rest, refuel, and prepare for whatever adventure lay ahead.
