Flying – a great way to start a birthday!

near maubara

Words can’t describe what a wonderful present I received from friends for my birthday. I was told to sleep early because I would have to wake up early the next day. Even though I knew it had to be something related to my birthday, I didn’t really expect much – at the most, it would have been waking up early to go for a walk along the beach. So on the “day”, I was up at 5am, dragging myself out of bed… as a matter of fact, some friends were up before sunrise to celebrate the day (even our soft-spoken japanese neighbor who we only met the day before came along). A few stops along the way to pick-up friends and the next thing I know we’re at the airport, waiting under a hanger for a one-hour flight around Timor – actually a quick tour around Dili, pass Gleno, around Maliana and back to Dili via Maubara and Liquica…  words can’t express the feeling of flying in the small plane or the surprise!
