The Comfort Inn at Port Moresby….

The main gate at the Comfort Inn in Port Moresby. All homes and hotels in Moresby exist within a protected compound. Needs to be seen to be believed. I remember thinking on my way from Moresby airport to The Comfort Inn….   What have I got myself into here !!! The contrast hit me like a ton of bricks. As soon as I arrived at the hotel I took the local toilet paper for a “test run”. There were 3x security guards stationed on the main gate of the Comfort Inn 24 hours a day. The sliding gate you see in the photo was only opened to let cars in and out, otherwise it was shut. I stayed here for 6 days during which I attended PNG orientation with National Volunteer Services (NVS). The 1st 2x days I got picked up from the hotel and driven to NVS offices, after the 2nd day I decided to walk. As soon as I got off that plane I started to confront fear, I’ve been confronting fear ever since, but I’m working through it….  I just make sure that I carry ample toilet paper on me at all times.
