FLORES Need a map of Indonesia ?
Flores is one of the biggest, most rugged island in Nusa Tenggara. Flores owes its name to the Portuguese, who called its easternmost cape 'Cabo das Flores', meaning 'Cape of Flowers'.   The island is part of one of the world's most geologically unstable zones, and earthquakes and tremors hit every year. The island's turbulent volcanic past has left a complicated relied of V-shaped valleys, knife-edged ridges, and a collection of active and extinct volcanoes. There are 14 active volcanoes on Flores; only Java and Sumatra have more.
	The Ngada people inhabit both the upland Bajawa plateau and the slopes around Gunung Inerie stretching down the south coast. When we went to visit them, they were pretty busy building a new house. Of all the sights in Nusa Tenggara, the colored lakes of Keli Mutu are the most singularly spectacular.
