So, the shipping has been delayed! Which means we have some time to kill while we wait for it to arrive in Dili.

We decide to jump on the slow ferry to Atauro Island, which takes you to the eastern side of the island to Beloi. From there we hike 8.7km over to the western side to Adara, where we’ll stay at Mario’s Place for the week.

We spend the week here with some new friends, exploring the amazing reef just metres in front of where we slept. The reef here has recently been changed to a protected zone following the Adara community bringing awareness to the damages of local fishing practices. This means that here you’ll find an abundance of fish and healthy coral. As part of this project divers are charge US $1.50 per day, which is then put towards local projects such as the school.

Mark also spends a full day hiking Atauro’s highest peak, Mt. Manukoko at 999m high. All up the 25km walk from Mario’s Place is a very challenging day though is equally as rewarding.

Our week on an island with no cares in the world has come to an end, and we’ll hopefully pick our car up on Monday morning when we’re back in Dili. Then, the real adventure begins!

Hope you guys are enjoying the videos! If you have any suggestions of what you’d like to see I’d love to hear from you!
