Duroa
Beach
   We had a wonderful
snorkel off Rowa Island and then set off to see a pretty
bay.
         Very reminiscent
of Fiji, except for the random ‘Bar’ sign.
  En route back across to the mainland
we passed hundreds of pearl farm floats.
 The pearl farm
‘buildings’.
 The workers waved
enthusiastically.
 We arrived on Duroa Beach to find
children playing. We wished we had brought a football
for them.
   Lunch was
served on the beach. Some dishes made a few eyes water.
  After we had
finished, thanked the ladies with cheers and a round of applause, the locals tucked in.
  We went to explore the cannon as Bear’s trigger finger could no longer
wait.
Our little booklet says: The
cannon and fortress of Duroa are the heritage from Japanese army. They are
located in Dullah Laut Village in the area of Duroa Beach. Tourists can easily
find this heritage and learn its’ history. To reach this place, you can take a
motorbike from Tual City for about 30 minutes riding to Dullah Village. Then
cross the sea to Dullah Laut Village using local people’s small boat for another
10 minutes. Very quaint.
 A definite
bend along the way.
   So old it
was difficult to believe we were touching metal.
  We walked back
along the beach to fine the fortress.
 Bear poses at the
fortress.
 Our tour
boat looked rather pretty.
  Adam
(Serica) hoisted our guide into his arms and
loaded her onto the boat to save her getting wet feet. This caused a huge laugh
and the lady was thrilled to be in strong arms. All on board we set off for our
last stop of the day on Adranan Island.
ALL IN ALL WE NEVER KNOW
