A trip Papua New Guinea – the Arrival

Ok .. let’s start with the last lunch at Mid Valley .. :)

then heading to Forex.. give it a try.
“Do you have Papua New Guinea – Kina notes ?”
…”Nope”.. “Ok then.. change to USD instead.”

Upon arrival at KLIA around 8.40pm… looking for “Air Niugini” counter to get the boarding pass..

after that.. just checked in..

calling everyone that get a hold onto ..


the next thing we know is.. flight delayed… to 2.10am .. due to volcanic eruption at “Madang”.. affecting our flight path to Port Moresby,Papua New Guinea..

(this time having another round of “Burger King” as given a voucher..charged to PX .. haha)

2nd time boarding..and we make it.. (is Boeing 757) if not mistaken..

the next I know was.. about time to arrive at Port Moresby already .. yay!

Checking for phone coverage…got line… “DIGICEL”..can sms to all people at home :)

then.. moved to “Airlines PNG” for small plane to Kawito..
waiting for almost 2hour.. so sleepy .. luckily got aircond and all.
