24th August 2016 - rain in Kokopo

Wednesday 24th August 2016



Well the theme for today is…rain!  MUCH rain!  The decks are all clean; the washing is all done and hung out on the rails.  And the next challenge is to get everything dry again. 


Last night we had dinner at the resort, and met a very sprightly Chinese-PNG man, aged 72, called John.  He very much wanted to chat, until he ran out of steam and went back to sit at the bar with a friend to watch the rugby.  (Rugby is on all the time; it is very popular in PNG and there always seems to be a game to watch.)  John told us he was born in one of the Japanese tunnels – his parents were interned during the war, and his mother gave birth in the bowels of the earth…

Back to the rugby!
