Viqueque District, Timor Leste (Part 1 of 4)

This post continued from the previous post that talked about Baucau. Let's continue our journey from Baucau to Viqueque. We continued to travel through hill after hill, padi field after padi field and occassionally some local houses along the way. You would have to pass through the market place, where the crowd were, before you hit the road for the hills and padi fields again.





The round-about was an indication that the team was approaching its final lap drive to Viqueque. The market place was filled with life. It may be their only shopping place in town. They sold clothes, vegetables, fruits etc.




Foreigners will not travel in their local transport. The bus is always crowded with Timorese. You will not be able to find any bus pick-up point and arrival time on website. Only Timorese will know when the bus will arrival and where is the bus-stop. There is no such thing as aircon and you would have to endure layer after layer of dust piling up on your face.
