Bouncing Baby Boy

A friend of mine, a volunteer doctor from Germany, took this photo of a very healthy looking baby at Vunapope Hospital, Kokopo.

Batten Down the Hatches

This house, on the outskirts of Kokopo, has a wonderful view...

........but the owners are obviously concerned about strong winds.

Escargot - non????

I think this cloud came all the way from France - I see a snail on a platter!!!

I am in Australia at the moment and can't participate in Sky Watch Friday but thought I 'd post a photo of the sky anyhow - as it has become a bit of a habit!!!

Tupela pikinini

There is nothing more beautiful than children from this part of the world.

Market mahem!!!

There is always a mad rush to get home after the Saturday markets.

Although this guy was really cool and not rushing!!!

I am flying to Australia tomorrow; will be away for a week. See ya next Thursday!!

Where have all the potholes gone, long time passing?

There is an amazing amount of road works being carried out in Kokopo at the moment.

Every street seems to be under construction. Not that I am complaining I might add.

I won't miss the potholes.
