Believe it or not ,I have some very happy memories of that little island of Daru , and it disturbs , but doesnt surprise me that the place has gone to rat-**** . Any one got any recent news of the island ? Wendy and I were married there in 1974 by the DC Ken Brown. Was last there in 1991 - had a mob of Jap carpetbaggers on board (doing what the little yellow bastards couldnt do in 1942-44) and while sorry to see the Club non -exhistant the guest haus was all that was left. The Daru Hilton didnt warrant a thought . Menu at kai ? I opted for a cray fish feast and got it . Hot cray fish served with boiled spinnach and hot mashed potatoe. Any way the greenie became a brownie about 2% hick and little doubt that it is not where I contracted Acute hep A and malaria . Any how I have some fond memories of that ****ty little swamp as it was a happy and safe ****ty little swamp in those days.
