A dip in the Sepik ( Papua New Guinea )


The Sepik region is a must-see for all travel agencies, above all the Middle Sepik, or the Middle Sepik.


This region, watered by the Sepik River is very interesting for the lifestyle and culture of its inhabitants, that you mimic the crocodile skin with escarificicaciones in your own skin, some of them appear to not be able to control the infection causing these cuts.

In my case I travelled by night and was lucky to share the cab with the driver. He wore a t-shirt that said : "safe driving" and was since betel nut until the same eyebrows. I don't know how I got healthy and except with that crazy driver, Curiously it was Mt.Hagen. Halfway through the trip we stopped in a very interesting night market. There were many curious surprised to see tourists with public transport, most travel agency.
