Sunday, 7/5, Ngardmau Falls and Ngerulmud

After the 4th, we spent the Sunday as a group as well. After looking at an amazing view from our apartment’s roof, we spent the day on Babeldoab, with our primary destination being Ngardmau Falls. Babeldoab is Palau’s largest island, taking about an hour to fully go around it by car. The falls were located about halfway around the island from Koror and were a bit of a hike to get to, but it was a really beautiful place. Unfortunately, my photos are on my camera, which makes them a bit harder to get online, but I will post them soon.

After the hike, we ended up stopping by the capitol, Ngerulmud. It is a pretty surreal complex, given its remote location. It also looks a lot like the US capitol. This was the most driving I had done by far, but Babeldoab is quite scenic, so it was very enjoyable.
