\nThe volcanos that loom over the town.

\nAn old boat covered in a meter of ash.
\n\"An<\/p>\n

\nI hired a boat for a few hours, to see the harbor and the volcanos up close. John is driving, and in the background is the QM2.
\n\"I<\/p>\n

\nRudolph, the other guide, and The Beehives, two rock formations in the center of the harbor.
\n\"Rudolph,<\/p>\n

\nA reverse view.
\n\"A<\/p>\n

\nMe snorkeling.

\nMe snorkeling.

\nJohn and Rudolph.

\nJohn jumping.

\nMe jumping.

\nLeaving the Beehives.

\nA local man returning from a fishing trip, with a shark in the rear of his canoe.

\nAt the hot springs.

\nJohn posing over the hot springs.

\nMe juggling in a local’s canoe.

\nAfter juggling in front of the volcanos.

\nHouses under the volcanos.
\n\"Houses<\/p>\n

\nVolcanos.

\nThe Queen Mary 2 in the harbor.

\nMan with umbrella.

\nTourists and locals walking from and to town.
\n\"Tourists<\/p>\n

\nKids walking over the layers of volcanic ash.
\n\"Kids<\/p>\n

\nThe supermarket.
\n\"The<\/p>\n

\nInside the supermarket.
\n\"Inside<\/p>\n

\nI love signs like this.
\n\"I<\/p>\n

\nJust three words, but so much wrong with this sign. What is that comma for?
\n\"Just<\/p>\n

\nSouvenir I almost bought number 1: Penis guides. All size on sale. Do not put them on in winter or when it is very cold.
\n\"Souvenir<\/p>\n

\nSouvenir I almost bought number 2: t-shirt with “I survive the Rabaul Volcanoe … and the swine flu.”
\n\"Souvenir<\/p>\n

\nThe path has many interesting designs, including the swastika…
\n\"The<\/p>\n

\nAnd leads to the German building. A tad insensitive, I’d say.
\n\"And<\/p>\n

\nAll the children wanted to have their photos taken.
\n\"All<\/p>\n

\nMore children. I wish I had a polaroid camera or a printer so I could give them their own copies of these photos.
\n\"More<\/p>\n

\nAnother child, but not free to roam like the others. This one had to sit and look interesting for the tourists leaving the cruise ship.
