 So here I am at the Airport in
East Timor! by Groverdean
Approximate cost is about 500AUD return from Darwin on AirNorth (see website below). Merparti from Bali is approximately 400USD return. Why so expensive? While the UN is there, and various NGO', etc, the airlines are reaping the benefits, and charging accordingly. If you have the time and patience a cheaper option is to fly from Bali to Kupang in West Timor than 1 day overland to East TImor. Bali Kupang return costs about 80USD. Be aware however, that the foriegn office advises against travel in the border region of East and West Timor. Although all travellers I met who had done this encountered no problems, it's just a long tiring bus trip. Leave a Comment

 Mikrolet with "Tout" looking
for our business-Dili by Groverdean
They are a cheap way of getting around most cities and towns. Just be aware that sometimes it is difficult to communicate where you are going. Taxis as an option still only cost a few USD to get you anywhere around town. However, in alot of out of the way places, (most of East Timor), they will be your only option other than walking, or driving your own car. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Dili Airport by bkoon
The airport itself is very basic and I still ses the UN Officers at the airport. Well, there are many UN choppers and planes at the small airport.

Another way to fly to Dili is through Darwin (Australia). Dili is only one and a half hours flight by AirNorth (Qantas). Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

To get to Atauro Island, the only way is by boat/ferry. When I was there, I travelled on the KMP Sereia do Mar, a ferry from Indonesia to Atauro Island. The ferry ride was very comfortable as it has an air-conditioned cabin on the 2nd deck (get into the air-con cabin only after your ticket stubs have been torn). Your belongings (if is just a backpack, you can just bring along with you) can be placed in Deck 1.
The normal price for a one-way ticket is USD7. It is not very frequent (twice a week to and fro). Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 Dodging Taxis in Downtown
Dili-East Timor by Groverdean
Apart from the roughness of the roads there are plenty of animals to avoid and you pay a "Fee" if you kill any. The "Fee" is considerably more for foreigners.
Speed limits are 30 kph in Dili and range up to 50-60 kph on the open road. Still quite slow by western standards, but difficult to achieve at times given the standard of the roads.
Hardly any of the locals speak English. If you know some Portuguese that'll help. My driver spoke a bit of English and was good value.
The Manager of the Dili Guest House helped me with the car and driver- who's name was Eddy, and is pictured under the People tip.
If you want to call John (The manager of the Dili Guest House) he speaks broken English. His number is below. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomePhone: 7235754/7235755

 Hire a kijang for a longer
trip by Yiannis2000
Roads from the capital DILI to the south, Maubisse, Ainaro and Same, or to the east, Baucau, Laga and Los Palos are no good, but generally paved. There are some local busses, departing from the three "bus stations", another alternative is to hire a local truck for a few days' trip! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

The most efficient way to get around Timor Leste is to drive yourself around. The locals get around on motorcycles or squash onto truck and buses that serve as public transport. When I say squash, I MEAN SQUASH.
Do yourself a favour and drive. Theme: Car/Motor Home
