So we had a day where the weather wasn't optimal for diving and we decided to see the surrounds of Pomene.
Ian, the manager of Pomene Lodge, was nice enough to give us his quid bike for the day and off we zoot to see Pomene City and the Old Pomene Hotel (More about the Old Pomene Hotel in my following post).
So what comes to mind when you hear the word "City"?
Well I would say that it needs at least one building with some form or concrete in it, maybe a light or two, maybe slight traffic even if it is the pedestrian kind.
Well welcome to Pomene City, there are Mangroves, a very tiny bar/spaza shop, a small curio under four poles and a grass roof, some signs for other venues that sell cold beer and airtime but has no life in it whatsoever when we were there and ladies sitting under the most beautiful bougainvillea structure peeling corn, potatoes etc. whilst the kids and the little puppy dogs play in the sand in the distance.
We stopped for a cold beer and to buy some stone cooked local pao.
Had a fabulous day out, I think some urbanites from various cities over the world could come and learn a things or two from Pomene City in that there is no need for rush. It just makes you old before your time.
Yay, found a pub!!!!
