See why we love Rumung? It is just so beautiful and peaceful. This road was a real road during the war, but after the ware when all foreigners were forced to leave Yap, Rumung people declared that Rumung was off limits to even other Yap people. This trail is so pretty. No cars, telephone or electrical wires or even bikes.
Bananas grow in abundance here too. Very few foreigners can now travel here and when we do we must have a Rumung guide and obey their rules.
Other parts of the road around the island are rock. Here Jack is resting his feet in a stream by sitting on a rock.
Here we are with our guide Jordan at the meeting place for the villagers. Below the kids are posing by a stone money. These are very precious to the Yap people. The largest are here on this island, but Jordan would not let us take a photo there.
