Ela Beach Hotel Port Moresby

... people cooking fish over fires on the beach and loads of kids running around everywhere waving to you. If you ask me they're absolutely out of control and need a bit of discipline, i'd have got a clip round the ear if i'd behaved like that when I was their age...kids today.

I'm leaving Madang this afternoon (Monday) and getting a passenger boat up the coast to a town called Wewak which is the main base for ...

Up before am to shower, pack. Checked out, then the cab arrived at 5:30am, and we made the drive to the airport. We were on a Jet Star flight (Qantas codeshare) – and while Jet Star had a long line, it was almost exclusively for bag drop, so it moved fast. We had paper tickets, for some reason, so couldn't use the self-check kiosks, but it didn’t take long to check in and get boarding passes. We were through security by 6:30am.

... sente quelqu'un, il est présenté forcement comme quelqu'un de sa famille même si ce n'est pas le cas) on est parti en vadrouille avec une voiture, histoire de traverser des petits villages et de voir à quoi ça ressemble. Bon, on ne s'arrête pas forcement car on ne sait jamais... Le gars qui conduisait la voiture avait un énorme bandage autour de la tète, il s'est pris une bouteille dans la tronche. Ouais, il faut faire attention, ca craint dans les ...

... arrival at the ridge we were greeted by a warm round of applause from the porters who had gone ahead - and we did the same for the others as they arrived. We negotiated the difficult walk down the southern face of Imita Ridge and stopped for lunch at the creek at Dump 66. The next stop was the Goldie River - where we removed packs to wade across what was a fast flowing river after the rain - waist deep on Cathy - Noah ...

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 holiday in the Philippines but lived in PNG. We got to talking and he was a bit concerned about me wandering around by myself so he took me under his wing. He showed me around Port Moresby ...

Hey to one and all! I hope you all have had an awesome week! I have been so busy this week that I really cannot believe it has only been one week! We have just finished our "village stay" and I really don't know if I will be able to describe everything adequately! This year it has rained more here than many of the locals remember it doing in years past and I believe them! It didn't rain while we were in the village,( for that I am VERY grateful,) but I really don't ...

Hello to one and all! I cannot believe that it had been another week! Time seems to go so quickly here, but then other times it seems like we have been here for years! I have finally gotten most of the peoples's names at the town church, but the village church is much more difficult because they don't all speak English! We have been through a long week this week, but we are all alive and walking again. Thank you to everyone who prayed for us! After my last email, Leslie got sick ...

Good Morning/ Evening/ Afternoon! Wow! I cannot believe that we have been here for 19 days! It kind of feels like we have been here forever, but not really in a bad way. Today is our day off, so I have time to put up a post. I really thought they were crazy when we first got here to give us a day off, but now I am sooooo glad we get it! We have been crazy busy this week! If I listed everything we have done, it would not seem like a lot, but ...

... them in some classes. Saturday it was raining...again..., but we had the "Amazing Race" PNG! There are 3 missionary families here and they each have a truck, so we were split up into 3 teams and had 9 clues that we had to complete. They were kind of hard! We had to go all over Alotau and we ended up at the Ford's home. Daniel, Logan and I were a team and it was a lot of fun! On Sunday it was still raining...shocking I know..., but we went to the ...
