Another bright and early morning, and off we go to Port Moresby.
OK, it's hotter here than in Ukurumpa. We could feel it as soon as we got off the plane. So muggy. We put shorts on as soon as we could.
Walking through the bible college property.
I went to the mall and found a meriblouse for Evelyn. The meriblouses are so light and airy, perfect to wear when it's hot and muggy. Also they are so bright and colourful. :) Apparently Evelyn handles the heat in Port Moresby as well I do. She only took her meriblouse off to shower. Even her cotton shirt felt too hot.
We got to enjoy a relaxing day at a club. Hosted by the Mulders.
Complete with a pool to cool off in. Lovely temperature, good food, excellent company. :)
On Saturday we went up to a park where we could swim in the river. The drive up was really amazing. I remember going up here four years ago and walking the Kakoda Trail. Such a windy narrow road and absolutely stunning views.
The river was very refreshing...although it didn't look too clean.
Driving back down again was just as stunning. We found a house built on top of the cliffside. I wouldn't want to live there during a big earthquake! And we discussed the water being piped down to Port Moresby and the issues with the dam and the electricity...sometimes there is a disagreement about who has access to the river, and then the electricity may no longer be available. Also building the bridge can be problematic...you need to get the local people on board, and maybe they would like a bigger cut of the profits.

It may be excessively hot but it sure is beautiful there.
