Micronesia 2024 Journal

Thursday, Dec 5 — Kolonia

My flight is slightly delayed due to an A/C unit issue while on layover in Chuuk International Airport TKK, on Weno island. We eventually arrive and Suzuki greets me at the airport and we drive to the Joy Hotel & Restaurant, where I check into room 202, with a nice balcony overlooking the main and side streets.


Friday, Dec 6 — Kolonia

I rent a white Mazda Bongo, license No: 1188, from Sunset View Truck Rental company, across the street from Joy Hotel. It is a mini flatbed truck. I drive to Nan Madol, in the Madolenihmw municipality. I park at a small village, and walk down a jungle path to the site. I realize I have to wade in the sea to get to the actual ruins, and choose to go for it.

I visit the Keprohi Waterfall


Saturday, Dec 7 — Kolonia

Today I walk the path behind Sokehs Rock, in the Sokehs municipality, to a the radio antenna, with amazing views of the island, airport and sea beyond. In the evening, I buy some sakau, and try the kava-like drink.


Sunday, Dec 8 — Kolonia

It rains a lot today, but I eventually drive to the Liduduhniap Waterfall, in Nett municipality.


Monday, Dec 9 — UA 155
