Rabaul, Papua New Guinea was the provincial capital of the country until it was destroyed in 1994 by falling ash from a volcanic eruption. The volcano started to spew ash into the sky again in 2006 and continues 24/7. Although these are not major eruptions they keep the sky full of ash. Our ship had to be scrubbed down after departing the port. There are minimal services on the island, no industrial capacity or running water. While lacking money, the people are not poor in spirit.
My favorite part of the trip is meeting children from around the world. My new friend made us feel very welcome and showed us around the grounds.
I had a night full of grooming after getting covered in this ash.
Ben, I think I found a new project bike. I'll let you ride in the side-car.
