Day 17 Guam (Part 1 of 2)

What a wonderful day we had today exploring Guam….  I went ashore with Brad, John & Roy first thing this morning. The rains were torrential….  Not liking that!  We had booked a rental car but changed our minds on the way out and connected with Noel Roque of Dino Taxi Service.  He gave us such great service all day that I would recommend him to anyone visiting Guam.  You can reach him at 1-671-888-7433 or dinotaxiservice@gmail.com .  We even had Wi-Fi in his vehicle, made my day!!!!  I have included a picture of Noel on the bottom of the page in part 2 of 2…  The ship was docked in Apra Harbor and we basically headed south as we made our way around the island.  Despite the rains the island was very scenic.  Once we got on the East side of the island the skies cleared a bit which certainly helped with photography.  One of the highlights was the Tolofofo Falls…  There is a bit of a cheesy park attached to it but the falls were really putting out a lot of water from all the rain.  Nearby we stopped at a bar/restaurant/gift shop that I liked, Jeff’s Pirate Cove….   Catchy name, good place to stop when you are touring the island.  After the falls we continued north for a while until we could go cross island to Two Lovers Point with its dramatic views.  From there we headed south to Tummon Bay and it’s tourist area and lovely beaches.  Our final stops were in the town of Hagatna where we visited the Chamorro Village, the Latte Stone Park and visited Fort Santa Agueda for it’s great scenic views.  That pretty much finished our day since the National Parks were closed due to the budget battles in Washington.  For a very rainy start to the day we made the most of it and had a wonderful time.  Once again the blog it in two parts.  I will repeat the text in both….  Enjoy!
