Ancient Ruins of Nan Madol

While I was in Pohnpei, an island in the Federated States of Micronesia located in the western part of the Pacific Ocean, I visited the Nan Madol. It is an ancient ruin city which was once a network of canals that spread out for more than 1.5km long by 0.5km wide. Since I had limited access to maps, we had to ask for direction twice and kept driving till we could see the ruins from a distance. My colleagues and I then walked for 20 minutes to get to the ruins. We had to walk through water at low tide to get to the ruins. Another route to get to the ruins is by boat which is more conducive but where is the fun without some adventure.
