OMG!! I’m in PNG! Part Four: Gorgeous Garove Island

While we were supposed to go to Kitava, another island of the Trobiands, there was a quick change of plan. It looked like the weather was going to be against us, so it was decided that instead of a day in Kitava, we would do scenic cruising into the extinct volcano that is Garove island, …
