The wonderful adventures of Yehia and Carolyn

10:03 AM, Friday, 29 December, 2006

Queensland was a lovely catchup where I refined my special method of sister-torture, and bought bikinis. We spent a night with The Good Doctor, and almost forgot a hockey stick at the LoveShack.

Dr. Charlie Love, at your service...


Other people have mentioned the Family Holiday, though, so I will save my fingies. Yehia and I landed back in Port Moresby a week ago today. We could tell that we were back when we heard gunshots in Boroko in the afternoon and were pulled over that night at a power-tripping police roadblock, where they 'used their discretion' and didn't fine us for not having the interior light on. In other words, they were looking for bribes to pay for Christmas.

It was all ok, though, because a couple of days later we flew all the way up to Kavieng to stay at Nusa, where we played with fishies and crabs and hornbills and parrots and dogs. The water was divine and the beaches were white and we swam around the islands and snorkelled with the starfish and lay around on hammocks. We also ate a lots of crabs and crayfish and fishies and omelettes and goodness.

Now we're back in Port Moresby again, and we are enjoying coffee and friends and fun. Yesterday we hosted 12 children for a seventh birthday party where Uncle Ya (aka Uncle Ugly Ugly Monster) taught small children how to throw balls at each others' heads, and Auntie Carolyn got fried in the sun like an egg. Just for jealousy's sake, here's a few photos of the kind of places that we were subject to up at Nusa:

Finger Update: It went away and was all happy and better, but then it got itchy and swollen again. Dr. Love told me not to worry about it so I didn't, and now it's all better and happy again. Something strange (not a child) did bite me in the pool yesterday, on my upper thigh, and that has made a really weird mark. More news on the strange bite mark later.
