I love the colors of their outfits. So nice you were able to get your picture with them. Those canoes are really narrow and you got a great picture of them!
You have really showcased this island so well. You included all aspects, good and bad, of it and I thank you. I have learned so much ad now, I want to go there. Those canoes are incredible. You got some great photos of them. It is sad about the diving. I'm saddened because they are so poor that they have to do it.
love the bright colors of their native wear. My DH lived in Papau for about 2 years. It was his very first job in the oil field. He has so many interesting stories as the company employed some of the natives to form an alliance with them so they would not burn down camp. He said nothing went forward unless the Chief okayed it. That was 30 years ago, sounds like it has not changed much
Soon it was time to say good-bye to Papau New Guinea. Some of the local teenage boys paddled their small outrigger-style canoes out to where our ship was tendered in hopes that passengers would throw money to them. They put on quite a show diving for anything we threw; money, fruit, or small tokens and gifts.
It was really a wake-up call to see how people live in remote places around the world - people who do not have the luxuries or even the simplest conveniences that we have.
Back on the ship we barely had time to clean-up, unwind and take a peek at the pictures we had taken today and it was time for afternoon trivia.
