The search went out for my phone, which made it sensible to stay at Casa Minha and wait for news. People mentioned that I'd be able to retrieve stuff from the cloud. They didn't realise that they were talking to someone who once lived in a small wooden house, in which a bean bag once caught fire and in which resided a partly-backed-up PhD thesis! Clouds, for me, are those gorgeous items of all shapes, sizes and textures in the sky. Some, I'm told, have silver linings!

Fortunately, I had bought a novel in Darwin and so spent the day with my head buried in it. The days ahead would tell me that I should have gone for the 2/$25 offer!

I had heard nothing by 5 and so jumped on my bike and cycled to Cristo Rei. It's the reason that Dili should twin with Rio. Being Sunday, it was hectic getting there and even more so at the base of the 600 steps to the big guy. I was back at Casa Minha at 6.45 having cycled 25 km and hung around at the top taking photos with my camera. Felt great to expend some energy.

Now, after a tour in Dili with JDN member, Belizea, I need to add some important information. Cristo Rei was a gift from Indonesia to celebrate 20 years of occupation. It's 27 m high. Funny number, you might think. It's not without considerable thought - Timor Leste was Indonesia's 27th province!
