Monday 11th March – Pago Pago
Today we arrived at the South Pacific
volcanic island of Pago Pago located in American Samoa. Our coastal tour today was in a colourful
open sided bus decorated with colourful flowers.
We stopped at various locations along the
coast to admire the views where unfortunately we saw the damage that had been
caused by a recent tsunami.
We then travelled to a small museum
celebrating the life of Samoa’s late governor Tauese Sunia, where we were
greeted by members of the family young and old.
After leaving the museum we took a short
ride to Maliu Mai Beach for a drink and to take in the magnificent views. However, it was sad to see the effects of the
tsunami.
After a pleasant tour we were pleased to
return to our air conditioned ship as the temperature was very hot and very
humid. After a quick lunch Doreen went
ashore to look round the local market (and made a few purchases). Geoffrey, meanwhile had found a free WiFi
connection and took the opportunity to download a couple of blogs.
