The travel to Atoifi hospital was a quite interesting and adventurous one! Here some pictures :)
Just out of the coast near Brisbane
On the wayside outside of Honiara, capital of the Solomon Islands, buying our first coconuts :)
We wanted to go the same way pioneers went the Atoifi and so instead flying to Malaita Island we took a boat and more to get there. Here we boarded this old boat at night time. We were the only white people on it and that was quite adventurous!
We tried to get some sleep up on the deck of the boat
On the bottom right side you can see my "bed" for that night ;) The red thing not the tyre! I couldn't find that much sleep that night under the stars.
We can thank God that the sea was really calm that day!
still tired!
those two guys work on the boat
arriving in Auki, Malaita Island
people live right next to the ocean :)
Then we took a three hour trip by truck over across to the other side of the Island and got bogged in some muddy holes!
Some people enjoy a swim in the remote villages up in the mountains.
Almost there! Now it's only about 45 min by out board motor boat to Atoifi!
That was really enjoyable after such a bumpy road trip!
As a welcome we got attacked by some wild warriors ;)
This was such a warm and special welcome! Flowers and a coconut :)
