North Town This city on the northern tip of the island is the location where
the first explorers set foot in Gichadia. Five large plantations
were immiediatley established on the island along with barracks, quarters
and storage facilities for ships continuing on their voyage. Today,
modern buildings are constructed right across the street from one hundred
year old establishments. Lodging: The North Town Hotel, The
North Town Resort, North Town Fishing Cottage Places of Interest:
Mastersson, Alief, Jonsen, Malbie and Harrding Sugar Plantation; the
original North Town Hotel, sailor sleeping barracks
Northern Highway The highway that runs between North
Town and Port Cote is a two-lane, paved road. It stays close to the
beach the entire length of the Northern Peninsula, offering endless places
to pull over and relax on the white sand.
Port Cote The capital and main port of entry in
Gichadia is also the largest city. It is fairly modern, offering a
great place for boat morrage in the Cote Bay. The city is named
after the first sea captain to chart the depths of the surrounding
inlet. Lodging: Red Leaf Inn at Port Cote, Beaches
Resort at Port Cote, The Port Cote Resort, The Port Cote Hotel, Sailors'
Refuge Hotel Places of Interest: boardwalk and waterfront,
government campus, Gichadian National History Museum, Port Cote
University
Southern Highway The longest roadway segment on
the island travels between Port Cote and Skaget. Most of the way, it
is a one lane mud highway that winds though hills in the dense overgrowth
and tropical forest. It is highly recommended you have a reliable
vehicle as there are no inhabitants along the road that can help you in
the event of a break-down.
Skaget The smallest urban community in Gichadia
is on the southern tip and is a sleepy fishing village. There is
little in vertical development here and most of the houses are very
primitive. Few tourists take the hard journey along the Southern
Highway to get here, so expect to be followed by curious
inhabitants. Lodging: Skaget Lodgings Places of
Interest: city market and center, Gichadian Fishing Museum
