The road from Rabaul Hotel into town

Between Kokopo and Rabaul is this series of Tunnels, apparently a hospital from WW2. As you can see – no-one has removed some of the tools and or artifacts, and long shall it remain this way

Pretty interesting view out of the tunnels

This young chap was our tour guide, here is was explaining that this was originally a well, but was then used to chop peoples heads off hence the groove in the top. Personally, the truth should never get in the way of a good story 😉 but it’s got some credibility, it does look like a good place for some head chopping

Apparently a memorial to 3 chinese officers

Local kids setting up a little market outside the Barge Tunnels

The tunnel goes some 200+ metres back and was used to hide Japanese barges from the Allied Forces. They had to be moved a large distance just to get to the cliff

Took lots of photos of the Barges – in awe of what was done here

Xaria is outside checking out the local kids 🙂

Amazing condition, and an asset to East New Britain

They sure made them to last

lol – Xaria found another Aunty 🙂

Colour, Race, Wealth – means nothing to a 3 year old. Xaria, the aunties and the kids all had a great time

This is the amazing Kokopo markets

Peanuts for sale at the Kokopo Markets

We spent Sunday at the Rapopo Beach Resort

Nothing but lawn, beach and water at Rapopo Beach Resort. Pretty damn awesome!

This tank is just sitting beside the main road in Kokopo

And if you happen to stay at the Beach Bungalow’s, this is the view looking towards Rapopo and the airport
