Peru - Papua New Guinea

Well it has been almost 2 weeks have past since we arrived home from Peru. It was so hard to leave, well for me it was anyway as it mean that I will not be seeing Veronica for a while, I thank God for modern technology such as email and sms because it means we can keep in contact and chat more often and doesn't cost a lot of money, even though she is worth it. We spent a day in Chile, which I wouldn't recommend, it cost US$60 just to get out of the airport US$40 for a taxi into town and US$30 for airport tax when we got back. Chile is very expensive a vast difference to Peru. Upon arrival into Sydney James caught a plane to Perth while I stayed for a couple of days and then took a plane to Cairns, where I stayed the night at Treetops Lodge. The next day 4th Sep, I boarded a Airlines PNG plane to Papua New Guinea. Upon my arrival I was met by Simon Gawa an old friend of mine. I stayed the night with him and his family. The next day is when all the excitement started. When I tried to check in for my flight to Hoskins thru Air Niuguini the lady behind the counter told me that my ticket had been cancelled. She explained to me because I had missed my flight on the 4th that all remaining tickets with them get cancelled. It was at this point i explained to her that because they changed their flight from 3pm to 6am I was still in transit to PNG and therefore it was their fault I missed the flight. I told them that I had to be on the next flight to Hoskins and after 3 hours of waiting at the airport they finally put me on the flight, but thats not all. When i arrived at Hoskins I had to go to the Air Niuguini office to check if my return flight was ok, this too had been cancelled so I had to rebook the same flight, another hour wasted. There have been so many problems with Air Niuguini lately that people are getting frustrated with them. They have been cancelling and down grading flight left, right and centre..
Anyway enough of that, I am here in Hoskins visiting Jonathan and Candy Burns some friends of mine, they work here with New Tribes Mission at the support base. I am not here to do much just relax and unwind from a pretty full on 2 months in Peru.
I will hopefully have some photos to show soon. Internet access up here is pretty limited.
Next Tuesday(16th) is inderpendence day here and we are all going into town for the festivities, I will hopefully have some great photos to show.
So until next time.
Lukim you.
