From the couple of days I had there it still is. still very safe, clean and friendly. Almost hard to believe it's in PNG. Sitting on the beach at Kokopo as the sun goes down and watching the big fish plop about in the glass smooth water, whilst enjoying a cold SP brown bottle and wishing for a bait rod with some one kilo gear and a couple of lures was just fantastic. then seeing at all repeated in the morning at sunup........ just makes you want to give up work and live on coconuts and bananas and just hang about.
I found where I want to be sitting in a few years time if all goes well.
