- Komodo Island, Indonesia
(Where else can one stand beside an 8ft long dragon - a real Komodo dragon in the wild? Yes, the star of our trip on this mythical island of Komodo, was initially lying still at the bottom of some palm trees. But when it started moving away, we managed to catch some terrific shots, and an awesome video of this male dragon walking past our mobile phone - see below. It was a real high, seeing him hiss its forked tongue out as it crawled past the phone. The ranger here gave us an informative 'medium' length trek of an hour through thick forest, and showing us their main prey - local deers here. The story of a Singapore man's leg been bitten here some 3mths ago had become part of his folktales on the poisonous bites of these reptiles. Real dinosaurs, real dragons - Jurassic World movie should be shot here)
