Touching Timor - Part 3

Another day on the island of Atauro saw the group split up and do various activities....the younger and more fitter of those (on both counts I didn't qualify!)  went for a day's trek.

Touching Timor - Part 2

Atauro is an island off the coast of Timor and the idea of 3 days at a resort there sounded amazing...it was!

Touching Timor....Part 1

Have just returned from a 10 day vacation to Timor Leste with a group of intrepid fellow travellers and what an amazing experience it has been.   Culture shock? Well it was pretty hard not to be affected by the abject poverty rampant in this country of just over 1 million people.  


Would I go back again....you bet!
