Day 16 - Day 19: Surf's up ! Rote Island, Timor

Nemberala village on Rote island is well known among the surfing community for having the legendary T-land reef break....it makes the cabo ledo wave in Angola look like a wave for babies...
So we decided to check it out as i am officially ranked 6 among the angolan surfers and was confident i could ride the wave and jump to number 1 !  But it never quite happened that way....firstly you need to know how to duck dive the waves, secondly you need to avoid the aussies, third you need to apparently have a leach for big wave surfing and last but not least you need have balls and my balls weren't big enough ! And lets not forget i had no board and no sex wax.

Instead we got busy scootering, snorkelling, sunbathing, suntanning, sunsetting and drinking bintang in paradise....because it really really was paradise...stunning crystal blue lagoons, sand whiter than white and Mr Thomas who fed us three delicious meals a day . We even caught some baracuda...not one baracuda, not two, not three, not four but more than 200....maybe i should have become a fishermen...hahaaa

Rai, Steph and a sick guitar (one of the tuning pegs is worn out....will fix it in kuala lumpur ....)
