Port Moresby



Today I left the fine coastline of Queensland to fly up to Port Moresby for a few meetings. Last time I went there was 17 years ago on a stopover to the Huli tribes of the Highlands and the river villages of the Sepik. A wild and exotic experience. Unfortunately, the capital city is not as attractive as the rest of the country and there is not much to see and do. Still, you can enjoy the view of the stilt villages spread all around and you can have an idea from the picture above of how tiny the city is laying at the head of the point. I wish I could go back and explore some of the remote places of Papua instead of having to stay in the city.
