Hi there!
This is my entry for the #BeautifulSunday challenge, initiated by @ace108.
I'm also posting today inspired by #SublimeSunday, a tag from @c0ff33a!
Thanks, my friends!
Spending time with my daughter who came to visit me, with her best friend, in East Timor is getting better and better.
This weekend we headed to the island opposite Díli, called Ataúro. I've told you about this island a couple of times, and showed you some photos of it, taken from Díli.
But today I'm showing you the island from inside, namely the beautiful place where we've stayed. It's called after its Australian owner who decided to build it and stay in this beautiful paradise from around 10 years ago. Barry's. You can see its location on the @steemitworldmap (see it in the comments)!
It's an eco-resort, as the island has no water resources: the water is a precious commodity, as well as the power. As there is no tap water, we bath ourselves the way you can see my daughter is doing in the first shot. And feels great, just believe me! Power comes from small photovoltaic plaques on the roofs of each cabin.
This is the cabin we've stayed at, called Maulaku. All the cabins are named after an area's name of the island. It is simple but neat and beautiful, as all the whole place is. All we need it's there, from mosquitoes nets to a small pharmacy, just in case we needed it.
The cabins, like all the infrastructures, are built with local natural materials, such as palm leaves and bamboo.
And the sea right in front of it.
Oh, and I forgot to bring my phone, and my daughter's ran out of battery, so we spend the weekend with no Internet, which was a bliss, as we ended up enjoying the place even more!
The following photos show some washroom details and the restaurant. The food is local and fresh... and delicious! All ingredients are organic and cooked the Timorese way... stews, stir-fried, boiled and grilled... Oh, the fish was just perfect!
This are us chilling out at the porch, and my daughter took this pic while I was editing some photos, so we can remember this wonderful retreat later :))).
The eco-resort is pet-friendly and has a corner specially dedicated to them. I didn't bring my Luna, as you all know by now she's a bit wild, and I was afraid she would run away and get lost.
"Love Peace" is the name of the green boat. And this translates our mood. And in love and peace we were, the whole time, altogether! Cheers, my friends!
It was another beautiful and sublime Sunday!
Thanks for passing by!
Be blessed and have a wonderful week ahead!
Thanks, @ace108 and @c0ff33a :)
Have a great Sunday, my friends!
Yours,
Isabel

Thanks so much, @rachiid!
Wow! You're almost off the grid, over there! Fantastic place! Great photos, too! 😃
Indeed, Ricardo! It's pretty basic, but it has all you need! Thanks so much!
Thanks, my dear Pix!
You've found a corner of paradise.
Spending it with family makes it double the paradise!
Your pictures portray the peacefulness and natural surroundings very well.
Will be good family memories from this sublime Sunday.
Indeed, my friend! You've said it all... It was just perfect! Thanks so much for passing by!
It really does look beautiful and sublime indeed @nolasco.
How wonderful that, by accident, you had no internet.
Since you posted this, does that mean that you are back on East Timor now @nolasco? 😊
I'm back and worked all day today! But it was a blessing, and even more as we didn't have Internet! So perfect! You'd love it!
I'm sure I would @nolasco. It sounds wonderful. 😁
This is like a all natural place. With lack of water and power, I wonder if you brought you cell phone will be any good but seems someone is happy on her mac. :-)
BTW, a typo:
as wel as the power
Aw, thanks, I really appreciate you noticed it! It seems I end up writing some in every post... Truly appreciate it! No cell phone, but I just enjoyed editing a couple more of the many photos I still have to edit! Thanks for reading and appreciating my post, my dear Ace!
You're welcome
I also posted for both tags, although I believe you went someplace more beautiful than we did. :)
Let me check it out, Debra ;)! Thanks for passing by!

What an incredible island to visit, and no electricity or internet - that's kind of scary but I could get used to it lol.
A beautiful island, the cabins are amazing and the ocean so incredibly blue. What a fantastic break, thank you so much for sharing it as your #SublimeSunday
