 The old Indonesian Administrator's Residence by Groverdean Located on the hills above Dili are the burnt out remain of what was once the residence of the most hated man in East Timor. Like so many buildings it was burnt to the ground, and yet it is one of very few which is currently being renonvated. As to it's new purpose, I was unable to find out. The building is in a prime situation overlooking Dili. Take the Dili to Aileu Road and it's about 10 minutes out of Dili. Leave a Comment

 Atauro viewed from Dare by travelbugchris If you are stuck in Dili, a great thing to do is to walk up to Dare (the small town high up in the hills behind Dili). As you walk, you will see village life going on and have spectacular views over the top of Dili, out to Atauro Island and on to other islands in the region. On the way, you can stop in to the swimming pool built by Australian troops as a memorial to the courage and generosity of the East Timorese who sheltered them during Worl War II. You can walk from pretty well anywhere in Dili but a good place to start from is the big Catholic Cathedral in the middle of town. Head south-east towards the hills and just start walking up any of the dirt paths. Gradually, various paths converge onto ridge lines and make their way up to Dare. In Dare, visit Fr Tan's farm and retreat centre - beautiful traditional style houses, a training and development centre for local, organic farming techniques. Buy some coffee beans. Leave a Comment

by Yiannis2000 If you visit Timor Lorosae, try to visit TUTUALA, the last village at the eastern tip of the island, it is situated at the foothills of Mount Matebian and it has a marvelous beach just underneath. To get there, try to find a bus from Dili to the eastern town of Los Palos and ask for transport to Tutuala, there might be a bus for the remaining 50 kms. There is a guesthouse in the village, a small shop but no restaurant etc. Leave a Comment
