Holiday Pictures 2012

Here they finally are: the pictures from our holiday with family from Switzerland. Beginning of September two of Madeleine's sisters and her mother came to visit us in Papua New Guinea.
It all started with them arriving a mandatory two days late. Luckily they had some good hosts in Port Moresby, them being able to stay with Sue and Rich Ebel. They then stayed for about a week in Rumginae, experiencing our daily life. They saw the work the hospital does and even had the opportunity to donate some blood. Unfortunately, we still had some cool weather and they missed out on the heat and humidity.
After that we all went to Madang on the east coast to do a week's relaxing, bathing, and snorkelling. Then we went on to Mondomil in the Highlands to get a taste of PNG's life in the cooler and more remote area of the mountains.
