<\/a><\/p>\nFor tourists, this part of the coastline located a few kilometers southwest of the town of Ende, is renamed Blue Stone Beach<\/em>. The beach of blue pebbles.<\/p>\n In fact, it is a succession of several beaches, which stretches over a dozen kilometers: Nangamboa, Nangapanda, Penggajawa ...<\/p>\n Misir, my driver, drops me off at the end of a beach. It is low tide. On the side of the road, mounds of blue pebbles are lined up, sorted by size and color.<\/p>\n Misir parks the car at the other end of the beach and lets me wander quietly among the pebble pickers. I am quickly spotted.<\/p>\n First, furtive glances, some laughter and exclamations. A small band of children observes me from afar. The kids finally get bold. The less shy ones come to pose for some pictures.<\/p>\n A woman calls out to me, obviously asking me where I'm from. I start the conversation with my usual \"Saya orang Perancis\" (I'm French).<\/em> Each time, the few words of Bahasa Indonesia<\/em> that I manage to gibber relax the atmosphere and earn me big smiles.<\/p>\n There are two young girls with her. One of them speaks a little English. She refuses to be in the picture, but explains me nicely the destination of all these pebbles that they sort, tirelessly: they will be used for decoration. Ornaments for walls, gardens, aquariums...<\/p>\n I continue my way quietly, trying not to twist my ankle on all these rolling pebbles. The children escort me from far. It amuses them to see me photographing the pebbles.<\/p>\n The colors are amazing. The collectors prefer round stones, of a beautiful turquoise blue.<\/p>\n I end up imitating women from the beach. Squatting on the heels, I also collect several small blue pebbles as a souvenir.<\/p>\n Here, the black volcanic sand of the beaches disappears under colored pebbles. Blue, green, sometimes turning turquoise or purple... New geological curiosity of the Indonesian island of Flores. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2226,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tpgb_global_settings":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[133],"tags":[26,37,134],"class_list":["post-2225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-voyage-flores-bali-indonesie-2011","tag-indonesie","tag-plage","tag-flores"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blue-stone-beach-002.jpg?wsr","tpgb_featured_images":{"full":["https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blue-stone-beach-002.jpg?wsr",700,467,false],"tp-image-grid":["https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blue-stone-beach-002-700x700.jpg?wsr",700,700,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blue-stone-beach-002-250x250.jpg?wsr",250,250,true],"medium":["https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blue-stone-beach-002-390x260.jpg?wsr",390,260,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blue-stone-beach-002.jpg?wsr",700,467,false],"large":["https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/blue-stone-beach-002.jpg?wsr",700,467,false],"default":"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/plugins\/the-plus-addons-for-block-editor\/assets\/images\/tpgb-placeholder.jpg"},"tpgb_post_meta_info":{"get_date":"1 August 2011","get_modified_date":"4 November 2018","category_list":{"category":[{"term_id":133,"name":"Indon\u00e9sie : Flores + Komodo + Bali - juillet 2011","slug":"voyage-flores-bali-indonesie-2011","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":138,"taxonomy":"category","description":"Voyage plong\u00e9e en Indon\u00e9sie.
