| : If you visite AORE ISLAND, you must
do an arrangement with AORE RESORT to rent a car with driver, because
it has only one or two kinds of "taxi" in the island. The
tour of the island take approximatively two hours. On the picture
you can see an old mooring buoy use by the U.S. NAVY. Probably the
chain was worn and break with a storm and now the buoy was on the
beach. |
Behind AORE RESORT, in the coconut
plantation you can see many bunkers at the limite of the jungle. In
some of these bunkers, you can find all kinds of material left by
the U.S. Army : pipes, olds outboard engine for boat, very big ropes,
etc. The empty bunkers are still use by the natives in case of hurricane
where they can find a very good shelter. In other time, only hundred
of bats were lived inside. The natives said that more 40 bunkers of
different sizes can be seen in the island. |
During our tour, we meet the rear of
a plane. This part of plane was carried by the natives and a team
of U.S. peoples few days before our visit. They found it in the jungle
and carried here to be show to the tourist. They do not know the story
of this plane, but they said that it has a total of 4 planes crashed
in the jungle. To day, only one plane was found because the jungle
is very dense. The 3 others were not discovered. We will come back
later. |
