Terri & Timor Leste

Image
Typical quiet tropical ocean Jane's sister Terri left Dartmoor, Devon, England in April 2016 on her bicycle with the aim of coming to Australia overland. By April this year she was in Indonesia so we decided to meet up with her in Dili, Timor Leste for a couple of weeks. We have friends Ray and Becky from our Marshall Islands adventure and they were happy for us to stay in their house in Dili and lend us 2 bikes for some touring. This was so nice to have a "home" base after our forays around Timor Leste. Our hosts Becky and Ray flanked by Terri and Jane Our first couple of days were walking and riding near Dili but then we went on a 3 day bike ride to the West. Busy and sometimes rough roads and humid hot riding but the occasional swim or iced tea and we managed to get to a nunnery/guesthouse at Maubarra. Lovely accommodation on a hill with sunset views. Swimming near a sign warning of crocodiles spiced things up a bit! Riding West to Maubarra ...
