Malsol was known as the bravest warrior in Ngeremlengui and one day he made enemies with a women known as Dirrengulbai (Dirr). He either murdered her brother or just insulted his corpse which made Dirr made and she wanted revenge. She married a chief then refused to sleep with him. When the chief inquired why and she told him of Malsol. From there the chief got a warrior from a village by the name of Bekeu el Bechab (BB) to bring Malsol back for punishment. BB took off to find Malsol and eventually found him near a lagoon. The 2 men began fighting in BB's canoe from which Malsol jumped out so he would have a better chance. Malsol was winning the fight when BB pulled out a shark tooth weapon bracelet and seriously wounded Malsol in the stomach. He took Malsol back to Dirr in which she spat in his face and had the women of the village stone him to death. Those stones now make Malsol's Tomb.
It is a bit annoying getting here because there is not too many signs and the road forks a bit. It is located in Aimeliik State on Babeldaob. From the main ring road coming from Koror, go the left route. In 9.3km take the road that goes to the left. Follow it and it should come to another road with a sign. It goes past the Aimeliik Bai and some terraces. There will a bit of a bend in the road and from there is a smaller road that goes a head with a house near the intersection. Walk up the road and in less than a kilometre there will be stairs going up the right. It will lead you to a building and Malsol's tomb is next to it. Leave a Comment

In Ngaremlengui State there are two World War 2 era Japanese cannons that are in good condition. To get here drive to Babeldaob island from Koror and take the left route on the island ring road. At around 23 km there will be a road off to the left. Take the road and follow it past the Traditional Imeung Village. Before you get to town there will be a red coloured road on the right hand side that goes upward. Follow it up as it will take you around a bend then to a flat area. Keep on going a few more meters and you will come across them. There are two of them. One is more out in the open while the other is close to the tree line. This area gives you some decent views.

Located in Ngatpang State on Babeldaob Island is a monument for the souls of the American and Japanese soldiers and for the people of Palau that were involved in World War 2. It is in an area with nothing else really around it so I found that interesting. I believe it was placed there in 1995 and it's worth a look see if you are driving by it. Coming up from Koror you take a left on to the island ring road and once you are in Ngatpang State it will be on your right hand side. Leave a Comment

Aimeliik Bai is replica bai that was built fairly recently. It is quite nice with it's decorations both inside and outside of it. It is less tourist travelled area as I only saw about 3 vehicles pass by when I was in the area. It is in Aimeliik State on Babeldaob Island. Coming from Koror onto Babeldaob take the left route on the ring road. At 9.3 km or so there will be a road going off to the left. Take and follow signs that point towards Malsol's Tomb because it is along the same path but well before it. Leave a Comment

Almost right across the street from the Ngiwal State Office is a museum of sorts. The have sculptures of some of the legends of the area. They also have some caged animals which don't look the happiest, but I have seen much worse. It is a nice area to stroll around. It is outside right on the coast so you have a nice sea breeze and the sound of waves lapping against the shore. I forget the cost because I was talking with the caretaker for a while and he didn't charge us full admission. I paid US $5 total and that was giving an extra dollar. They do have a charge for using a camera but he didn't charge anything. He was really quite friendly and invited us to the State Office for lunch and lunch was quite nice indeed. Leave a Comment
