MONI |

The village of MONI is set out along the length of the road that
runs from Ende, northeast to Maumere. It's full of losmen and
restaurants, but is still a relaxed place to spend a few days, with
great walking in the surrounding hills. Behind the Amina Moe losmen and
opposite the market is a rumah adat , where occasional evening dance
performances are held (Rp3000) and traders hang around trying to sell
ikat. There is no bank, post office or Telkom in Moni.
Buses from Ende (1hr 30min; Rp3000) and Maumere (5hr; Rp7000) stop here
about three times a day, the first one at about 11am and the last at
about 3pm; ask at the losmen. For such a small isolated village, the
cuisine in Moni is impressive. The simple but wholesome buffet
(Rp10,000) at the Amina Moe draws large crowds, but you need to warn the
cooks early. The Mountain View Pub and Rumah Makan Sarty, both a little
further up the road, can also arrange buffets and are relaxing places to
enjoy an evening beer. The Sarty also serves the best food in town.
