Yap Balabat Village The walk to Balabat is lined with traditional men's houses and rai (stone money). You'll pass Madrich, once a Spanish trading station, and continue to the Rull municipal office, where the road is lined with rai. Eventually you will come upon a seaside faluw (meeting house). Ethnic Village Yap's capital Colonia does a great job of celebrating and preserving indigenous art. Here, village elders have been invited to teach their craftsmanship and techniques to younger artists; research is conducted to determine the exact form of original idols and to uncover what natural pigments were used before Western contact.

Pohnpei Lush vegetation, jungle hillsides and flowering hibiscus: in many ways, Pohnpei fits the typical South Sea islands image, albeit a wet one, as copious rainfall feeds a multitude of streams, rivers and tumbling waterfalls. Pohnpei's boldest landmark is the very scenic Sokehs Rock, a steep cliff face often compared to Honolulu's Diamond Head. The ancient stone city of Nan Madol, abandoned on nearly 100 artificial islets off the southeast coast, is Micronesia's best-known archaeological site and should be at the very top of your list of priorities

The name Nan Madol means "spaces between" and is a reference to the canals that criss-cross the ruins. The city consists of a series of small artificial islands linked by a network of canals and is often called the Venice of the Pacific. Nan Madol was the ceremonial and political seat of the Saudeleur dynasty, which united Pohnpei's estimated 25,000 people. Set apart on the main island of Ponhpei, it was a scene of human activity as early as the first or second century AD. By the 8th or 9th century islet construction had started, but the distinctive megalithic architecture was probably not begun until perhaps the 12th or early 13th century. Nan Madol Pohnpei flag
