Beautiful Gamay Hotel – Gold Rich Lodging House
This beautiful hotel seems so out of place out here in Northern Samar where there are very few facilities for the traveler but what a great place to wait out the rain!

Muddy road between Gamay and Arteche Northern to Western Samar
The road from Gamay to Artehce is quite a challenge during heavy rain.
Pacific coast in Northern Samar
The road is undergoing a complete upgrade and it will likely open up this area to development. The coast on the Pacific ocean is simply amazing.

Hello Mr. DP: My BF and I plan a motorcycle trip to circumnavigate Samar starting in November this year. We are trying to determine the condition of the roads. On our maps the highway goes from wide red line to black, to yellow and on the East side turns to a black dotted line. Is our plan feasible? Two people, with luggage, all the way around? Love your page………….. thanks……………..becky
