Pohnpei to Wewak

DAY 22, LEG 94 - Pohnpei to Wewak

This leg marks the completion of another milestone in the tour, the Pacific crossing.  From Pohnpei we head south towards Papua New Guinea to explore the rugged scenery that this amazing country has to offer.  After that we will travel to Australia and New Zealand.  Wewak is located on the north coast of Papua New Guinea and the small airport offers domestic connections throughout the country.  Along our route lies the spectacular Butterfly Island which we will make a special effort to visit!
