Friday morning, we prepared to set off on our planned day-trip around the northern island of Babeldaob. We hadn't exactly planned very much, but we had pre-arranged a rental car through the dive company that planned our trip, who in turn arranged it with the hotel. Or least, they were supposed to. We don't know exactly who didn't follow through, but in any event it wasn't pre-arranged after all. No matter. Things are pretty informal, and a phone call later, the rental company dropped off the mighty machine with which we would cruise around the island.
