Timor Leste - New Year's Eve 🥂🎆🎇

My first bike ride into the sunrise, into the mountains, was awesome. Rising sun on a clear sky behind the silhouette of the mountains gave me a great view, during the first hour of my ride.
The whole ride was massive, around 9hrs in total, 6.5hrs to the border, but it went really well. Few traffic, quite good road conditions, several stops for breaks with beautiful views onto amazing landscapes. To the border it was my longest bike ride in one day, for now, but it didn't feel like that.
At the border crossing, I was told my scooter can't come with me, so Cepi was parked at a family's house and I entered Timor Leste alone.
Border crossing to Timor Leste was the most relaxed, most friendly and even funny border I've seen, for now, staff was really amazing, there!
As the whole trouble about the scooter took some time, no bus or driver was left, on Timor Leste's side of the border. While trying to find a scooter for rent, here, I got a free lift to Dili in the car of a family from Dili, rarely speaking English or Indonesian, they were so nice to me! 🥰
So arriving in Dili at 7pm gave me barely enough time for a great shower, after 2 days non-stop travelling, before we went with our hostel's owner's family to the city center to join the New Years Eve celebrations.
No more words, it was amazing, you will get an idea of the vibes, watching the video.
What a journey, what a New Year's Eve! 🎆🥂🥰Okumaya devam et
