Papua New Guinea does get quite a few tourists, with most opting for either trekking the Kokoda Track, or venturing further afield to various tourist hotspots around the country. PNG has started to really open up, and the experienced traveller who wants the experience of a lifetime can certainly build a great itinerary here. The Poached Eggs on Hummus is terrific. Otherwise β head back towards 14 Mile and the Adventure Park where there are giant crocodiles.
If you like Orchids, then the famous Orchid Gardens are right next door. There are some great eateries inside and I recommend the dumpling restaurant around by the food hall. You can race around the Nature Park in an hour or a day but make sure you spend 15 minutes or so going through handicrafts in their shop. Lamana Hotel has Italian and Brazilian TIP: you can sit at any restaurant in Lamana, and order from any menu , and there are a myriad of other restaurants tucked away that are really quite good.
Cosmo has a couple of levels, and if you can get upstairs you can boogie the night away on a dancefloor above the dancefloor. There are also lots of police checkpoints, so have a sober driver with a licenseβ¦. Have a crack on the pool tables, or slot yourself in on the dance floor. There you have it, a taster of Moresby in 24 hours. Ha, I love this!! Just read all your Blogs on PNG! Your insights and stories have really come in handy. Work have offered me an exciting job based out of PoM.
Always wanted to work in a place like PNG but now the pressure is looming to commit I am apprehensive about what life would be like for someone like me given no kids to make contacts through schools etc.
I suppose the last thing I want to do is move there and spend two years living a rather insular lifeβ¦ can you comment? Hi Matt β its a great place if you are outgoing and friendly β join a couple of clubs like the Aviat, Car Club, Golf Club or Yachty and you will be fine.
