Wagang Village – Series 2 (Part5)
My 1st day back in Lae Had a great night’s sleep in my own bed after sleeping on the hard floor in Wagang village for four nights. Got up feeling rested but my left foot was aching like mad. Could barely walk on it plus I could feel a little pain nodule emerging around the groin area…
Busy, busy, busy…
Things are still hectic downunder, catching up with family and friends at a rate of knots. It’s all pretty tiring but seeing everyone has been a real joy…

There are things that I already miss from PNG, at the same time I’m having a grand old time staying at Mum’s, sunny and beachside Umina Beach, catching up with family and friends, lots of dinners and coffees…
Catching up with friends…
The last week has been very busy. Trying to catchup with as many family and friends as possible before the xmas – new year break. And it’s been great! If there is one thing I miss living in PNG – it’s my family and friends…
