Betelnut Festival

July 30, 2015August 1, 2015 / thetravellingcheetah / Leave a comment

It happens but once a year, and with a strike of luck, I was on Atauro Island for the annual Betelnut Festival. Thirteen people piled into a van to bump and bounce our way to the top of the island where the festival would begin.  Two hours later we had finally arrived, 3,000ft above sea … Continue reading Betelnut Festival

Aerobatics Over The Valley

July 11, 2015August 1, 2015 / thetravellingcheetah / Leave a comment

The smell of avgas subtly cut through the fresh air and the buzz of the engine broke through the flying helmet.  Adrenaline was pumping as we taxied along the runway, and up, up we went.  Over the airport, over the nearby town, over the lush emerald paddocks of the surrounding valley.  Hair whipped my face … Continue reading Aerobatics Over The Valley
