Shipwrecks are rare, as they usually repair everything. No clue, what's the story about this one. 🤔

Even goats are seeking shelter, if tropical rain is starting. 😅

Com, a beautiful beach village

Jan 9–10, 2024 in East Timor ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

Exploring the east of Timor Leste led me to Come, as my next destination. Weather wasn't too nice, I had to stop a few times to shelter from the heavy tropical rain, but nevertheless the ride was nice.
Due to the rain, some crocodiles came up the river, so while taking a break and enjoying the view on a bridge, there suddenly appeared a big crocodile and it was obviously watching me. Fascinating animals, I was quite lucky to spot one out from the bridge, but I wouldn't want to meet face to face... 😅
Getting closer to Com, the road became really destroyed, so the ride was quite exhausting and took a while, but clouds opened up and the landscapes, the coastline, were awesome.
Com is a beautiful small village, directly at a reef protected, large, amazing white beach! Look at the pictures, it's a small untouched paradise, perfect for relaxing and enjoying awesome seafood! 🥰
