Flores Itinerary - Feedback Welcome
 
I intend to spend around 12 days in Flores as part of my 5-week stay in Indonesia in Sep/Oct. The other islands I intend to visit are Java, Bali and North Sulawesi. For the benefit of those who haven't read my other threads, my main interests are: natural attractions/scenery, wildlife (would like to see tarsiers but not a must), light to moderate trekking, swimming/snorkelling, culture, cuisine. I am not interested in seeing caves, diving, surfing or partying.

Below is a preliminary itinerary I have prepared for Flores. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to improve it. I also wish to know if it is possible to get a bus to Cunca Wulang and perhaps walk the last part of the journey or if one needs a car + driver. I wouldn't like to ride a motorbike or drive a car myself.
