We made another remote via helicopter today. We went to an isolated section of Timor called Oecusi (O-Cue-See) which is west of mainland Timor. It is separated from the rest of Timor and is surrounded by Indonesia except along the coast line. Apparently, this is where the Portuguese first landed when they came to Timor. This region also has one of the highest concentrations of leprosy in the world. Given these short comings, it is the most beautiful place I’ve seen in Timor. It still has a lot of old colonial structures and feel. The community has adequate water supply and is clean. Drove around last night with a chicken in the back seat.
