We flew from Easter Island to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea with a 40 minute layover to refuel in Cairns, Australia. Total time around 11-12 hours. Once we arrived we had an armed police escort to a museum. There was a 1 hour tour of the museum before going to the Airport Hotel. This was a fantastic hotel. Port Moresby is the capital city. There are no roads going out of the city; only boats and planes. The next day we flew on Air Niuguini (pigeon English) to Mount Hagen, where we transferred to a 10 seat plane to our final destination on the Karawari River in the middle Sepik River valley. We landed on a grass runway. Then we took a boat to our lodge, teh Karawari Lodge.
Beautiful photos! Adorable little boys- I love the big smile on the boy on the right.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this as I get ready to go have my roots retouched and the contrast in cultures startled me! I love the picture of Judy with the little boys. But where are the little girls?
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog to Mom and she says: "I am so happy you are having a good time and hope you are taking a lot of pictures that you can send!"
ReplyDeleteYour trip is even more adventurous than I thought! Loved the photo of Judy and the little boys. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!! We are following every second with you! This is Steve's most favorite place in the WORLD!! Wish we were there with the both of you!
ReplyDeleteHave to be honest...we are officially becoming Halloween party snobs. This Halloween seemed so boring without your fabulous shin-dig (no party can ever compare). We are ruined now!
Keep the wonderful pictures coming! Need more kissing shots to capture the "anniversary feel" of this trip!
