Safua Hotel Salelologa

... Les Samoans prennent leur religion au sérieux et il est important d'être bien habillé (et en blanc pour venir église). On était un peu déçus car on voulait vraiment voir ce que ça donnait que d'aller à l'église sur les iles, bref, c'est une bonne excuse pour y revenir un jour!Le village vacances ou nous avons atteri s'est avéré être l'un des plus sympa que nous ayons visité. Bien que l'endroit ne semblait pas être le mieux, on allait avoir droit à une surprise innatendue.

... place. It turned out that we wouldn't get very far at all; on our way out of Salelologa we got a flat tire and had to find a repair shop to fix it. This was done whilst the passengers were on the bus! It's always an adventure to travel by buss in Samoa... About half an hour later we were back on the road heading for Sasina and 90 minutes later we managed to find our Beach Fale in Manase, with the help of some friendly locals. The ...

... comfortable, so much so that the men fell asleep as night came. The women then worked through the night and finished before the men woke in the morning. Obviously some moral there, but I'll leave it to you to decided exactly what is it though. End of the World - The Western Most Point - After the house of rock we drove a little further along the coast to the western most point of Samoa, which is the closest western point in the world to the date line, apparently. Everyone loves a ...

... utili pour une ile volcanique... botanique.. que j ai appris enormement de choses sur les samoas en une petite journee.. je trouve que c est important d avoir fait ce tour.. car les kiwis je les retrouves dans le village balneaire au nord et ils voulaient pas faire de tour.. louer leur voiture et faire tout seul.. mais du coup ils ont manque le principal et fait le tour classique du toutiste moyen et vu ce que justement j ai pu evite grace a Warren ...

... to see the colourful fish swimming amongst the reef all the way to the water's edge. In the evening, we visited a restaurant, Samoan style, complete with resident cat to accompany your meal. On reading the menu, Mike decided that the price difference between a medium and large pizza was small enough to warrant ordering the larger, and received a pizza that was more than enough to feed a small family. The next day, we left the ...

... time we walked some where we had to carry stones incase a pack of feral dogs thought we looked tasty. On our second day we headed over to beach fale (traditional Samoan huts) on the other side of the island. We were greeted by Christmas carols blasting out of the resorts massive hifi. It was nice to be back on a beach again, we quickly settled back into the life of not doing much except for going for the occasional swim and drinking (in Mark's opinion ...

... I had had a sore throat for 4 days and had talked too much at the party so I couldn't speak above a whisper. With no-one able to hear me it seemed like a good opportunity to spend the rest of the day sleeping. Friday morning found us having breakfast with 2 of our PC committee. They are very dedicated and want to be sure that things move smoothly and as quickly as possible. Thus, we spent several hours gathering information and ...

... and I think they have it right when they say that "it's nice, but too much!" I'll have to agree with them. Of course it didn't take me long to shop, spend money and acclimate somewhat to the fast pace again. It was definitely a little overwhelming-all the choices, stores, just everything. After a while I just got sick of comparing because everything is different-from kids with shoes, dogs with collars, having dry skin for the first time in six months, and people not ...

... they will find me a nice Samoan boy-as most people do. When I tell them I already have someone, they tell me I need a Samoan guy too. All palagis (foreigners) get the same kind of stuff, including Vic. I then returned to the hospital in the afternoon for the aerobics. I am never sure of what to expect here, which I think leaves me a little more anxious at times. A good anxious though. A few years ago I dreamt of being somewhere like Samoa doing this kind of stuff, but ...
