I was on the first Doulos when it first came to Lae in 2001 and then it re-visited Lae for the second and the last time 18 years ago when I was 13 years old before it went back and turned into a floating hotel. Now look who's here the second Doulos aka Doulos Hope it was welcomed by the Munum singsing group when it came in.🥰
