Cristo Rei is one of Dili's major landmarks. It is a statue of Jesus gifted to the people of Timor by the Indonesian government. ('Cristo Rei' means 'Christ the King').
Since I had the day off on Thursday, I thought I would pay a visit. Although I'd been to the car park a couple of times, I had never walked the path all the way up to the statue. It was also an opportunity to go for a bike ride somewhere that I was a little bit familiar with.

Nearly at the car park... Beautiful clear beaches |
