Waterfall

2024-08-28: We managed to catch the flight connection from Alor to Sumba where we met up with a driver and guide to take us across Sumba. We were starting to run out of time, and we were going to have to do an overland and ferry to get to our flight home from Labuan Bajo in a few days. There wasn't much time to do a full exploration, but we did just make it to the waterfall area before it closed.
