We got up early and put on our best (that we brought) and hopped in the truck and ute (well in the back) and headed off to Mass, we decided to attended early Mass. It was so fun we talked to locals and saw all of their smiling faces. The service was great, most of it was in pidgin ( the language of PNG) but there was one section in English, listening to the choir and the whole church singing was like music to our ears.
After Mass we returned to the hostel and changed into out day clothes, we then headed up Mission Hill to Boystown and a Japenese war memorial. It was really good to see the memorial and the view was amazing. After that we headed back down the hill but took a small detour and stopped to see some of the guns from the war. We then headed to one of the schools where students learn to become teachers. After our quick visit we went and Cape Wow war memorial were Japanese forces surrendered World War II in PNG. Then we went for a quick swim at a small beach area.
After the swims we headed to the road side market where we all had a taste of coconut water where Mitch and Chantelle had a coconut drinking competition. Chantelle won by popular demand. We then went to the town markets and got some lunch.
Once back at the hostel we all had a lazy day playing cards until we started a game of questions where we pondered the answer to life after death, how big the universe is and Barry's first kiss. We then had a delicious dinner of rice, chicken and steak stew after which Mitch, Chantelle, Adam, the great King Kong Tim, Tyler, Darcy and Ella had chilly. Wethen packed up the stationery bags and then headed off to bed ready for the long trip to Aitape in the morning.
