Okay- not what I expected. Its like Cambodia but more tropical scenery. Very poor and run down. We hired a cab driver to take us to what the map called Black Sand Beach. Well that eneded up being a pile of black sand in someone’s backyard and the rock cliffs to the water. Um weird. Our cab driver was even surprised. So he took us further down to a cave pool. A local church runs it- and for five Samoan dollars we had access to a cute area….it was a little park area by the ocean. There was a fresh water cave pool. It was crystal clear and had lots of fish swimming around. You could go back into the cave too- but I wasn’t a huge fan of the dark cave and the talk of eels. However Kurt went- and even braved the tunnel you could swim through that led you out the other side. He braved it 3 times….We layed out to read and then went back in the pool again and then layed out to dry before heading back to the ship.
That night between shows I layed out on the bow- the stars again were ridiculous because the sky was so clear! I saw a satellite and a shooting star!
