Hi everyone,
Well I am just about done with this tour of Papua New Guinea. The last couple of weeks have been work, work, work. I haven't been out and about to enjoy the scenery. Hope everyone has enjoyed the blog. It looks like I will be coming back for another tour at the end of January. That will depend on when I get my Visa from the government. I'll let everyone know what's happening after I get home.
I do have a couple of pictures to show.
First, I want to introduce Henry. (or his cousin) He is in my room and hides behind the wall locker. The other morning I got up and he was beside my water bottle. By the time I got my camera he was at the locker as you see. The baseboard is only 1 1/2" tall. Anyway, He enjoys living indoors rather than in the rain.
When I got to work the other morning I went out to view the sunrise over the mountians. We had rained that night for a couple of hours and the clouds were still passing through. It rains in spots. At camp we had the rain, light rain - only a couple of inches in two hours. At the worksite, 25 km away, there was no rain. However, a day or so ago it dump about 2 to 3 inches on the work site in 45 min to an hour. It was really cool to watch. Also, the temperature was about 90 deg at the time.
Today was a really hot and muggy day. with the heat index it got to 112 deg. What your looking at is a road roller window that shattered today from the heat and vibration. The cab is fully enclosed and rather hot inside. fortunatly the driver was not hurt; but he about peed his pants when it happened. that's a large safety glass panel in that window.
The final picture is the sunset from my camp where I live. It's always so dramatic with the sundown.
So that ends the show. I will call everyone when I get home. I should be arriving on the 21st of December in time for Christmas.
Take care,
ken
