Dolphin Destiny π¬ Hundreds spinning through Bismarck Sea rainbows at dawn Our boat captain whispered "Pukpuk no bite today" (no crocodilesβhooray!) 3. Volcano VIP Treatment β¨οΈ Steam-cooked megapode eggs dug from hot ash (taste: sulfur + destiny) Local kids demonstrated "lukautim skin" (volcanic mud skincare) π The Human Magic Aida's Reunion π―βοΈ Found my long-lost friend selling carvings at the market By sunset, she was on our flight back to Port Moresby ("Mi les long Rabaul!")
