TRAVELS WITH MARYANNE
Welcome to Alotau, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Papua New Guinea. This off-the-beaten-path destination is a true paradise for adventurous souls seeking to explore the untamed beauty of the South Pacific. Alotau offers a unique blend of natural wonders and rich heritage that will leave you awe-inspired. I travelled to Alotau by cruise ship and so my post is from the point of view of someone arriving by ship.
I travelled to Papua New Guinea in September 2016 with two very good friends Dianne and Mark aboard the ship Pacific Eden. It is quite difficult to move between the islands of the Louisiade Archipelago of Papua New Guinea by public transport and so when we found out about a deal for $389 for 7 days to PNG we jumped at the chance. New Guinea and Australia were once one piece of land so it was significant for us as Australians to visit. None of us had been to New Guinea before so we were rather excited about the trip.
