Voice of Travelers to Dili
Trip to random city
In August last year, I decided to visit East Timor, the Dili city. This was as a result of its famous tourist attraction sites. The first step was to acquire an air ticket together with accommodation in Dili. After buying an air ticket, my journey was set to start in a couple of days using Sriwijaya air. The journey started as expected and it took me five hours and twenty minutes to get to Dili. While on board, snacks were served as breakfast. My first visit in Dili was the Cristo Rei de Dili which is the statue of Jesus located at the eastern end of Dili. Next visit was Santa Cruz Cemetery, where the massacre took place. Other places where I paid a visit was Jesus Backside Beach, Baucau, Atauro island, Mount Matebian and Jaco island.
My stay in Dili
I traveled to Baucau two months ago. Stayed at Pousada de Baucau. When there I made friends with a local guy who worked on reception. We hired a 4WD car for US$300 and went on a six-hour tour to mount Matabien, Venilale and the local lakes. It was amazing and a worthwhile experience.
Dili Travel FAQs
Q. How should I book my ticket?
A. Visit a travel agent. Travel agents don’t receive a commission for booking air ticket and hence they will only book an air ticket if you ask them to, and generally as part of the package. Book directly. Most of the airlines will also let you buy a ticket through their websites. The only problem with direct purchase is that you will not be able to run a side-by-side comparison with the competing airlines. Buy your ticket through an online travel agency. Online agencies such as Expedia give you a chance to access different air tickets and compare them.
