leaving Lembata

We have been stuck in Lewoleba for 2 days.  Monday night's ferry broke down in Flores.  We went to airport yesterday at 6 am, but flights were full.  We have a flight at 2pm today (wednesday) to Kupang(Timor) and Thursday morning to Kalabahi (Alor).
We plan to snorkel on Alor and Peter will probably go diving.
The first flight is on a 13 seater plane (12 passengers).  We have heard the scenery is magnificent, so hope the weather will be clear.  All the islands here are volcanic, so are excellent to look at.
On Sunday we went for a trip around Ile Ape, the local volcano.   It is smoking a bit.  It actually erupted earlier this year, and apparently smoked a lot more before that.  Most of the time it has cloud at the top.
The villages here are tiny.   Most of them do not even have a shop.   It is subsistence living of rice and fried fish 3 times a day. 
The food even in the restaurants is very plain here.  Rice with fried fish or chicken, and maybe a bit of boiled veg.  From street carts we have had martaback(savoury egg pancake) and goat satays with peanut sauce.  Breakfast in the hotel is sometimes fried banana.  Today was thick pancake with chocolate and peanuts on it.
