After waking up to the sounds of birds, all the girls made their way down to breakfast. On offer was a traditional PNG 'flour ball', homemade by the sisters. It reminded us girls of hot cinnamon donuts from home.... But better. It was then time to prepare lunch for the busy day ahead. We made sandwiches for both ourselves and the boys, knowing they wouldn't be happy going hungry. Once again we sat at the gate waiting for our ride to pick us up, whilst being attacked by a range of bugs surrounding the beautiful garden. We drove through town in the ute and met the boys at the wharf. Two boats were waiting for us and everyone rushed to grab good seats. After a bumpy ride against the waves, we approached the first small island. We were greeted by the excited locals and were then shown around their school. We presented them, as well as the other two islands with a gift bag to thank them for welcoming us. It was at the second island where we finally got the chance to swim in the crystal clear water. All dripping with sweat, we raced into the water without hesitation. On the way back from the last island, to our surprise it began to rain, we weren't complaining. As we arrived home we all realised just how burnt we had gotten, aloe vera oil was our saviour. After demolishing yet another amazing dinner cooked by the sisters, the boys came over for some cards and bonding time.
