Thursday Island

 After breakfast we loaded the truck for the last time and some of us walked to the ferry terminal, it was only 400 metres over sandy ground, hence the truck for luggage.

We had been advised to use luggage with no wheels at first, think there may have been some arguments about that and it was changed. However some did comply with that, I had decided that I wasn't going to carry my luggage through airports without wheels. Our luggage weighed in at 7.3 and 7.5kgs each.


Our tiny bags. We did have a back pack as well.

We caught the ferry to Thursday island, I expected some dinky little thing but it was quite large, seating for a hundred and twenty people. We didn't have to pay as it was part of the tour but I looked it up and it was $12 for a return trip, taking about eighty minutes. Once on Thursday Island we were only 100 KMs from PNG.
