Flores to become a holiday hotspot after pygmy find

National Geographic has an article about the indonesian island of flores where the 18,000 year old fossilised remains of a pygmy race of 1 meter tall people. I thought I’d keep readers up to date as one of my first posts to this blog was about this very subject. (I can confirm that there are currently around 30 irregular readers of this blog, some of them aren’t even friends of mine!)
Anyway the Flores tourist authority has stated that the number of visitors has increased by 21% in 2005 over this period last year. The main attraction seems to be the site where the remains were unearthed. So if you want to play hunt the hobbit on an Indonesian island here’s a map courtesy of indo.com
