West Timor… how’s it going with organising a ferry crossing to Sumbawa/Flores? Did you stop in Balibo on the way to the Indo border?

Yes the spanner was an oversight. hopefully the visa will be approved today. I may have found a bigger bike on which to go further afield. i think I have cover the sights of Dili. Enjoy the Cook Is.

Lesson learned is to not go to airports with spanners, screwdrivers or pocket knives in carry on backpack. Luckily you won’t be catching many (any) more planes on your way to Europe :).

Hope they end up giving you the 60 day visa. It would be a shame to have to rush through Indo for the sake of making a visa deadline. I hope the visa officials are a bit more understanding of the capability of the F650GS when they see it (I hope it arrives soon in good nick with minimal hassle).

BTW, East Timor is a catholic country but there’s probably plenty of Indonesian muslim business people there now. And the place is more than a bit hilly, as you’ll find when you head up into the middle of the country. It’s a pretty diverse little place which you’ll find when you start heading east.

Have fun!
Dan
