Sitting in front and asleep, I was awakened by a sudden collision of the vehicle’s front left tyre. Running over a huge pothole, our driver was trying to avoid and in fact trying to save a dog’s life blocking our way! The collision almost got my head bumped on the roof of the vehicle as we approached Malala’s St. Michael’s Secondary School, one of Madang’s oldest high schools run by the Catholic Church.
This was my first trip ever to Bogia District and was thrilling on a beautiful Friday afternoon of 1st March 2013, enjoying different scenic views of Madang’s north coast on the main highway. It was now around 5:30pm and was over 3hours road journey from Madang town to Malala and my final destination was a few minutes away.
