6/34: To go ashore we hailed taxi boats
10/34: The sign may be old, but not the message: Buka's the cleanest town we've seen in the Western Pacific!

15/34: The hospital would need funding for staff, meds and some renovation and expansion...
19/34: We walked up to Kubu to the department of justice ...
20/34: the modest presidential palace (better to spend money on the country than the palace anyway)
23/34: We walked around pretty Sohano Island
