timers may remember that on my first trip out to Saipan
in 2004-05, I rented a little scooter and toured the island
for a week taking in as much as I could...
Well Im 5 years older and Im doing another tour...There
was a bit I had not seen here the last time so Im hoping to
catch the rest this month...
As you can see Ive upgraded from the little 75cc bike I
had before...
...to a whopping 125cc Daelim...This baby screams
at 60mph, on a straight a way, going down hill with
the wind at my back...lol
Just after taking the above picture, a rainbow showed
up behind me...
My first stop was to Banzai Cliff...This is where the
Japanese were trapped during the invasion and a lot
of them jumped to their deaths.
The memorial.
The cliffs. Look how clear that water is.
There are many memorials that have been erected
since this site opened.
This is looking back towards the cliffs. Can you imagine
jumping from there?
Looking up towards Suicide Hill.
Another view of Suicide Hill.
Looking across the Veterans Cemetary up towards
Suicide Hill.
Next stop was one of my favorite beaches, Pau Pau Beach.
