We just made our first road trip since coming back to PNG last year. We split the rent of a 16-passenger van with another family and drove to the coastal city of Lae. No, don’t think palm-covered beaches. Lae is a port city and the best spot for “retail therapy.” I do not find shopping therapeutic in the least, but I did my part to boost the local economy anyway. Best find: Kettle brand salt and vinegar chips—all the way from the US. Biggest surprise: They were still fresh!
We also discovered that Lae has at least a couple really good restaurants. We stopped at the Lae Yacht Club for lunch on our first day down and enjoyed a good meal, a decent view of the harbor and a PLAYGROUND—almost a necessity when dining out with six kids. <grin>
