Milne Bay
Next I headed to the coastal town of Alotau in Milne Bay. I spent the first day looking around town. There was a colorful market with lots of fruits, vegetables and fish, and of course everyone's favorite here-betelnut, which gives the locals ...
Exactly half way!!!!!
... some of the old planes, etc. There are only 10 or so cruise ships a year entereing this only port area for Papua New Guinea. People were walking across the gray land from all over to see the cruise ship visitors. They were very friendly with very ...
Another a volcano!

Travellers in a hostile land
... that is an unrealistic desire. So it was in the early hours of the morning we left our secure compound in Lae for a new secure compound in Moresby. Moresby is certainly more threatening than Lae, although 99% of the people are just as welcoming. As we ...
EATING HEALTHY IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Day 89 - Crew Talent Show
We'd been awaiting this day for a long time. The crew's talent show had been advertised with a lot of notice and the whole ship was buzzing for it. I got the impression this was the crew's one chance to be real (or as real as can be achieved in a ...
Big road trip today
... Pym's guest house in Mount Hagen where we transferred to a 12 seater mini bus for the road trip to Garoka, the bus was brand new, so no sign of pigs muck on the seats. The scenery along the way was brilliant, first out through the Wagi valley where there ...
Kindness and frustration
Today, has been characterized by random acts of kindness and interminable frustrations. After travelling to Lae so that we might catch the ferry to Kimbe in the west or Alotau in the southeast we find a startling problem at the Rabaul Ferry booking ...
Sorry Mate we've booked your room to someone else

Meeting the chief and his pigs, and his wives.
Sunday 26th Sep Up early and ready for our day's adventure. First stop was in Paiya at the sprit house, Here we heard lots of stories about spirit sticks and other things that the chief would use to talk to the spirit world ( think he also smoked ...
messing about on the river
Friday 1st Oct Up and out in the Canoe by 04:30, bit of a late start because the skipper didn't turn up on time. It was still pitch black as we got into the canoe, i am not sure how these guys manage to steer the canoe in the dark with only a small ...
Restorf island
A number of marine Biologists are staying at Walindi. However, they are here for land based research and as such we have the dive boat to ourselves. A late start allows us to avoid most of the seasonal monsoon that has been unseasonably lacking this year ...
Submarines & Expats

PNG let the adventure begin
Sat 25th Sep Off to PNG. Connie drove us to the airport after cooking us a great breakfast. Cairns airport is very quiet and civilised and we checked in for our air Nuigini flight to port Moresby. The flight was really empty just 20 people in a big plane ...
East to Kokopo
... the Kokopo market and environs. Hastily established after the volcano of 1994 destroyed most of Rabaul (20 miles to the west) Kokopo is now the capital of east New Britain – clean, functional and an ideal base for exploring ash strewn ...
Relaxed Alotau
With scenes from the terrible earthquake and Tsunami in Japan appearing vividly on our in-room TV (a relatively rare luxury in PNG!) we prepare to leave Kokopo for Alotau. Our early morning flight leaves some 45 minutes late. No reason is given but it ...
Batmen's paradise
... foxes that inhabit the town centre. They are everywhere! We’ve booked a flight to Vanimo. The border town with Indonesian Papua. Tried to book a hotel there but that is impossible. All hotels are fully booked as there is a conference in town. We ...
Snorkeling with Black Tip Sharks
... , wintry north! Our first dive today is at South Ema. Our initial descent down to 110ft reveals surprisingly few fish. Frustratingly, our new Divemaster spends sometime searching a leaf coral for a critter so small that none of us can see it. As we 'chew' ...
The Fjords of Tufi in PNG
A new country and new experiences. We flew from Darwin via Cairns and Port Moresby to Tufi with 3 different airlines. Getting to Cairns was no problem but there we weren't allowed on the plane unless we had a return ticket out of PNG. As we didn’t ...
Getting started
I got stuck in Port Moresby for a couple days because as usual I arrived with nothing arranged and I also arrived on a Sunday morning when nothing is open so impossible to make arrangements. At the airport in Manila I met an Aussie expat who had been on ...
Day of leisure
As we are flying to Rabaul in the morning today is an enforced day of relaxing! As diving is precluded and the snorkeling around Walindi is not great we spend most of the day arranging future flights, chatting with various locals and enjoying the resort. ...
On the bus with Rambo
Our plane into Port Moresby seems populated solely by returning locals and mining expats returning to their hardship posting. Like many of our previous flights, on this trip, tourists do not make up the bulk of this wide bodied Boeing 767 passenger ...

Living by the jungle: The Routine
Não me deixam dormir no chão da sala como no primeiro dia. Expulsar malta de quartos e de camas não era o meu forte até chegar aqui...tirando uma ou outra excepção na India. Durmo com a minha rede mosquiteira para ver se não apanho ...
