More cleaning inside and outside the van. Can't see how you can get a 20 year old vehicle clean enough to be "as new" without stripping all components, shot blasting and re-painting them. It would take weeks.
Even took the glass out of the door mirrors and removed the dead spider, fly and spider's eggs from behind one of them. There must be more bugs around that we haven't found yet.
At 2pm drove around to the SDV office and went through the paperwork. There was another container blocking our container so we had to come back around 3:30 to load up. Blocks of wood were nailed to the floor infront of and behind each wheel, and the van was roped to the anchor points at all 4 corners of the container. Seemed quite secure.
Time to relax and do nothing for a few days. There's not much to see in Dili, or much in the rest of East Timor for that matter, so we'll make the best of not a lot for a couple of days until we get the vehicle Carnet stamped on Monday and can fly to Darwin.
Town Dili, East Timor
