Checking in in Kavieng is a pleasure: we had done our online-evisa (50 USD per person) and sent off an email with a prearrival notification beforehand, so when we arrived in Kavieng we simply anchored in front of the friendly Nusa Resort (they take separated rubbish, so make sure you keep burnables, recylable plastic and cans separate!!), took a taxi boat over to town and went to see Martin, the cumstom’s guy. Martin stamped our passports (visa valid for 2 months) and wished us fun exploring PNG–all within 5 minutes, with a big smile and no further fees…
Then we were free to explore the town: smiling faces everywhere (most of them with bright-red teeth due to the nasty habit of chewing betelnuts), better than expected shopping at the numerous supermarkets + hardware stores and great produce at the cheap veg and fruit market. We love PNG!
From the anchorage we just flagged down one of the many passing boats, turned out to be all-ladies

Got a sim

Checked out the many supermarkets


Got some essentials for Christian

Bought some things to give away at the second-hand shop

Did not buy betelnut…

But lots of fresh goodies at the market!
