We will be in Rabaul, PNG two nights ahead of our liveaboard departure and are looking for places to stay. Has anyone been there? Stayed there?
Can anyone tell me any specifics about the area? It looks since the eruption, that the actual "town" of Rabaul is actually migrating to Kokopo, nearer the airport. But, where do the boats leave from? It looks like the port is still in Rabaul proper.
We'd like to dive at least one day, if just to check all of our gear before we get on board. Any thoughts on where would be a good choice to stay, comfortable and for diving, close to the airport, but not too far from where we'll need to board the boat?
Also, what else would you suggest that two very jet-lagged travellers should not miss while they are in town?
Thanks everyone!
