I am in PNG again!

Without my camera! What a bummer.

So no pictures this time unfortunately. I'll see how my phone camera behaves. I can tell you one thing; Port Moresby appears green. Unlike my other trips here when all the hilsides seemed bare or covered with brown dry grass, this time I see mostly green. That's all because (I've been told), it had rained constantly for the previous two weeks, resulting in floods and landslides and pot-holes.

The hotel I am in, the Gateway Hotels and Apartments, is great. Much bigger then Lamana, with more facilities. They have a gym and a tennis court. I am told a pool as well. I've seen two pubs and one pizzeria. Will review the place properly towards the end of my stay.

A good hotel (i.e. good accommodation plus good facilities) makes a world of difference to staying in Port Moresby.

Being cooped up with limited access to transport means you're pretty much stuck at your hotel.

You've spent more time in PNG than I have, so undoubtedly have formed your own opinion, but Lamana was never very high on my list of places to stay.

Lamana has some pretty shitty rooms. You'd just have to fight out a good one at the reception desk. The top floor on the car park side has very good rooms. All others were crappy. I had a tour of them.
