Wewak Restaurant Tips by Bwana_Brown

Restaurant Name: Windjammer Beach Resort

The food in all the hotels in Wewak was quite good, whether it was at the Windjammer, Sepik or Wewak hotels. During our workdays at the nearby diesel power station, the Windjammer was the closest place for us to take a lunch break or even stop for a cold beer on our way back into town at the end of the day.

Here, the guys, still dressed in their Elcom coveralls, are finishing off a few stubbies of San Miguel and South Pacific beers as we sit in the shade at the Windjammer Beach Resort. The prices of our meals never stuck in my mind because we were travelling on government business, so all rooms and meals were paid by signing a voucher.

Of course the huge nearby Sepik River area of Papua New Guinea is noted for its wooden carvings. In the background to the right are two fine examples, a carved chair and a totem pole. The sea-going canoe in the distance, coming in for a landing, was another common sight in PNG. The locals were completely at home with both the sea and the many rivers and knew what it took to harvest the fish that they needed to survive.
