Guam, Ritidian Point

Apr 20, 2011

view the broad map with a meters above the sea level graph

I cycled to Ritidian Point at the northern cape of the island. I was not able to go on my first day here because I couldn't find the fork to the cape. I could not find the fork today neither, I asked a local person and followed his indications out of the main track.
There is not a sign indicating the direction of the cape. On the contrary, only a disturbed sign that says that "US. Air Force Installation, This Area is Patrolled by Military Working Dog Team".

I started pedaling fearfully, but there was a long open way.

A fine view opened out suddenly just when I felt like I was approaching the sea.

When I cycled on the dirt track and passed through the jungle to the beach...

There was nobody. It was only the sound of the waves.

Guam, the southern part of the island

On the second day, I cycled around the southern part of the island.
I started from the hotel heading southwest and ascended halfway up the Mt.Lamlam(406m), highest peak of Guam.

Afterwards, I rode down to Cocos Lagoon and cycled beside the seashore. Today's route was full of variety.

I had lunch in Inarajan. The tour guide book said Chamorro gastronomic culture dwell here, however the dish was common fried chicken. The American dishes sweep the traditional local dishes.

I got exhausted after a lot of ups and downs sprinkled with splendid views.

Guam, the northern part of the island

The population of Guam is 164,000 people and the perimeter of the island is around 150 kilometers.
It is an island of perpetual summer that one can travel to from Japan in three hours. Many Japanese tourists come for sea bathing, diving and shopping. However, there are very few people bringing a bicycle.
On the first day, I pedaled around the northern part of the island.

The way was wide, but cycling was risky because there was not a side strip. Because bicycle was not run at all, the car driver was not used to overtake the bicycle.
Unlike Taiwan and Vietnam, there was not a local food stall on the roadside. There were only McDonald's and a Domino's Pizza.
I was hot, thirsty and hungry, but the beach was beautiful.
