Alotau is the capital of Milne Bay Province in the south east of Papua New Guinea. The town is located just south of the equator and it was very hot and extremely (uncomfortably) humid. It is the world's second largest island (after Greenland). It is an independent country and ruled by a British monarch and governed by a governor general. During WW I and WW II the country was invaded by Australian, US and Japanese forces.
This tropical island has only one main street, a handful of shops, post office and an ATM. Country is fairly primitive and most people sell things on the streets. Because of its tropical climate it is very green and plush. We were there on a Sunday, when most places are closed ... however the native islanders performed for us. It it very green and plush.
We sail 5 days on our way to Okinawa now.
Still having a great time.
Love to all,
Bruce
