Today was travelling day - a long drive down the north side of the Owen Stanley Range to Popendetta. Mr Bazzo writes: "All is well, the kids were in particularly good spirits on the truck today until they started to get sleepy... but then one of the trucks got bogged which livened everyone up." They arrived at Buna in the afternoon. Half the group walked around the coastline, whikle the other half enjoyed a banana boat ride to Sanananda. On the return the groups will swap.
The students were unaware that they were about to be given a special, traditional greeting and meal by the local people of Sanananda.
Mr Bazzo said in his text to me: "So we swim now while we wait for the others to join us from their walk. Tomorrow we have a day's worth of activities here! Anyhow reception is hopeless... will try to text tomorrow."
That's all for now.
