14 July 2025 Port Moresby: Papua New Guinea a Quick Tour

 



We piled into the red Toyota 4x4 and drove through Port Moresby.  We drove to the National Museum, the Parliament building, downtown area and along the beach area.  There were lots of street markets, new steel and glass buildings in the downtown area, large art pieces in the center of the traffic circles and a wind whipped sea.  Then back to the Raintree Lodge for dinner which was actually very good
