Palau - Day 4 (Road Trip) Part 1

My road trip started out on the small island of Koror
(where 85-90% of the population lives) and then heading
up to the main island to explore. As you will see the island
is very diverse. It goes from tropical jungle along the
coast to overgrown fields inland.

















This is the new museum for the island.











































This was an old site of stones...Not sure what it
was but you can see a seating area at the end.














This is a ceremonial hut being refurbished.







































































I found out quickly that you dont get off the main
road. The main road circles the main island and
these little feeders start as paved roads for a few
hundred yards but then they quickly go to gravel
and then mud. And they narrow as you go along too.


























It was a cloudy and scattered showers kind of day
as you can see.



















My rental SUV. Check out the tires and the side
of the car. Good thing it rained later on. LOL
