The whole AAI team's now on the ground in Dili, enjoying the warmth, getting into some training and getting some opportunities to raise awareness about the health needs of Timorese people through some media interviews.
Listen to Frank's interview on Radio National this morning at:

Matt, Paul & Piotr landed in Dili yesterday morning, following Frank who's been in Timor since the weekend. Had a good sleep last night, after catching probably 1.5 hours over previous 36 hours in transit. It was good to finally string up a mozzie net & run a gentle sweat overnight until roosters started crowing from 6am. Had our first coffee this morning (it's great coffee here).
We installed bikes yesterday & rode to Jesus along the beach road, the road surface around Dili is good but there are lots of obstacles including holes, rough patches, rocks, cars, motor bikes, pedestrians, dogs, chickens... it's certainly a long way from dull!
Matt's bike's got some mechanical issues already. Hmmm... Today will be a good chance to find out the quality of local mechanical support.
We'll keep you posted!
