Trip Report: Bali - Tulamben & Timor Leste - Dili, Atauro (May 2011)

[xariatay]

Debated with myself where should this (long overdue) trip report be filed in? I guess Indonesia would be partly appropriate since part of the trip report is about Bali & Timor Leste shares the big Timor Island with Indonesia... Kindly note that Timor Leste (East Timor) is an independent nation, she has been independent since 2002.

What?! U had a blast exploring more of Sulawesi! & your girls are getting fantastic photos! Really impressed with the w/a ones by Mayang. & your younger girl is so talented! (Just left message on their blogs )
I think the rates are Aussie standard... The crossing takes 1hr & the lunch would be US$10 if we had it in the restaurant... Diving in Timor Leste is still mostly for the staff of UN & other aid groups... Oh, they just met a dugong! Makes me very jealous... :blinking: DIVE LOG - Duggong days in East Timor
Thanks!

Oh wow! Upping the ante eh?! Will be going to Palau end March, will have to give GWS a miss. Although I've seen photos of GWS diving without cages, the thought of them still send a shiver down my spine & I'm into shark conservation! I hate Jaws, scarred me! U have a wonderful trip!
Thanks for remembering them! We put the little one & my uncle on the Shark Savers Sg PSA, speaking in Mandarin...

Now Now Then...(reverse stalker)

I was planning Palau next March but most likely going to Komodo instead in April...

The thought of spending days in transit en route to Palau from downunder didnt sound too exciting

Not unless you invite me on that private jet of yours direct from Sing to Koror
