Day #12 New Guinea Adventure

Rabaul, Papua New Guinea

Woops almost missed the sunrise again but I managed to get my gear set up to capture what was one of the best we’ve seen so far.

Today we finish the last leg of our backtrack East with Rabaul as our final destination later in the day. For now, we are heading toward a small island off the coast of New Britain called Little Pigeon Island.

Day #11 New Guinea Adventure

At Sea

Today is another sea day, and once again that means no landfall but lots of onboard activities to keep us all busy.  Personally I’m looking for a bit of a relaxing day, with time to catch up on some much needed backups of my growing photo library and some book reading.
