Where's the beach?

After visiting Maubisse’s plantations and having this huge jet-lag we thought it would be a good idea if we just hung out for one day at the beach. So we slept until 11 am, packed our beach bags, took a brunch and left.

At our hostel's reception we saw an advertisement to hire a Vespa for one day. We thought it would be a great idea to go to the beach with these Vespa's because we also had the chance to drive around for a bit in the afternoon.

During the time I was signing the contracts, Jihane and Kimberly had met foreign people outside the hostel that knew some amazing places in this area. They told us to meet up at Little Pattaya, one of the best Thai restaurants on the beach.

So we left with our Vespa’s and drove to the beach. There we just relaxed and swum. There were beaches that we could call our owns. What a silence. This was unknown.

At noon we went to Little Pattaya, where we met the foreign people from outside the hostel. Little Pattaya seemed to be an amazing place where you can eat Thai food and enjoy a great view. In Belgium you would have to pay a lot of money to have dinner on a place like this. But here, it was cheap. Together we only paid 50 USD for dinner and drinks.

After having this great lunch we drove around with our Vespa’s. It was truly amazing. I have seen the most beautiful landscapes/views in my entire life. I will cherish this forever. We also have visited a local Portuguese School in Dili. We have seen a big contrast between our education and theirs.

As it was getting darker and darker we started panicking because we had no clue where we were at that time. Luckily we had met some locals and they showed us the way back.

At 8 pm we arrived in our hostel, had dinner and now we are going back to sleep. Everyone is tired but it was an amazing day, we have discovered wonderful things and I’m pretty sure we’ll be dreaming about paradise.

Sweet dreams
