We finally got to have real showers! We were back at the hotel in Lae and enjoying our last night together. We enjoyed the hotel-swimming, reading and having dinner together. We all went to bed early (or mostly early) because we had to be out of the hotel at 3:30 to catch our plane.
We had a 5 am flight from Lae or Port Morsby and then a 3 hour lay over in there...in the second most dangerous capital in the world! We took a bus around the city...going to a HUGE grocery store, the government building and then back to the airport.
The government building is famous for the giant mural on one of the walls. The mural was designed with representatives from as many tribes as possible (the government wanted to create a mural that represented as many of the 850 tribes as possible!). It is a really cool mosaic!
An attempt to get the whole thing....
And the best view is of course....
With this it was time to say good-bye to PNG. It was a very sad and tearful good-bye....and with this...I can't wait to go back!
