I really feel the lesser known facets of Flores need to be explored more, such as Kelimutu, and Manggarai. Accommodation is not great on Flores, but with more and more flights arriving at Labuan Bajo every month (and maybe an international flight to Singapore soon), I hope more hotels pop up, especially at Kanawa Island.
I'll agree (with the exception of diving, which I haven't gotten into). While seeing the dragons is a great experience a 1 day trip doesn't allow for much more than saying, 'i saw the dragons'.

Flores is a very cool locale and I relish the 7 days i was there in 2008. Kelimutu at dawn, Chistian/animist in the highlands, Muslim fishing villages etc.
