Our Experiences: Samoa is a beautiful Polynesian Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Almost untouched by occidental way of life, the Samoans live their true cultural life. One of the things that has caught our attention was how they care for their house yards, their gardens and the cleaning. No urban agglomerations, no noise, no dirt, no hurry. Mother nature rules. The beaches are a true paradise, including Lalomanu Beach where we rented a “ Fale” (traditional beach bungalow) for the day. We also had a lot of fun in the ocean trenches and the blow holes. They are uncommon volcanic geological formations.
