Well we've finally made it, after about 1 1/2 years of planning we have arrived here in the Frontier of Papua New Guinea. It is a beautiful but rugged country with a lot of diversity. Not a lot of roads either, making air travel a must to many places (unless you want to hike for a month). This is usually good but also makes things quite expensive. The climate here is something to get used to, It rains about 4 times a day, and just when you think it can't rain harder it does. They get about 6-7 meters of rain per year!! The temperature has been pretty warm, never lower than about 20 and than goes up to the low 30's during the day (but feels a lot hotter with the humidity in the 95% range). The place here is quite nice, right on a river where frequent dips are needed to stay cool. We have a couple more weeks here in Rumginea and than off to Madang for 11 or so days.
