29 June 2007 - The lull....

The lull....

Things are relatively quiet on the election front. The past 2 days have been declared "quiet days" free of any electioneering so I am not sure whether that means it's the lull before the storm, or that people need 2 days to render them docile enough to vote.

I went out of Dili today. We took the coastal road to the little town of Tibar - probably the distance of Sea Point from the city centre of Cape Town. Heading west this time - if we carried on we would eventually get to the Indonesian border. I was amazed again by the beauty of the coastline and the beaches. Judge for yourself....
I think I will come back here on Sunday for a dip in the ocean away from the other internationals.
