A Trip to Samoa
Ideally located at South Pacific ocean, Samoa is home to some of he important islands like Upolu and Savaii. It is covered with a number of mountains ormed by volcanic eruptions.
While you are here on a holiday, you have a number of things to do. To start with, the palm fringed beaches and blue lagoons provides you with an opportunity to dive underwater and explore the coral reefs. This can be done at the Pololo deep marine reserve. Get a sneak peek into the cultural dance of the Samoans at the Aggie Grey's Fia Fia. The capital city of samoa, Apia, is home to the parliament house and a historical observatory. Savaii offers an insight into the Pulemele'i Mound, Alofa'aga Blowholes and the Moso's Footprint which are presumed to date back to prehistoric times. Other options are Pago Pago, the national park, ofu island, etc. Another thing that you would like to ponder over is the wildlife of the samoaIsland.
Despite of the fact that the common Asian, Europian and the fast foods are available, Umu is a must try. The restaurants and eating joints are casual and inexpensive. Backpackers, Bed and Breakfasts, Residences and Resorts are a few accomodation options. Shop for some of the locally made cloth painted with native dyes, mats and baskets, shell jewellery, samoan stamps etc. American, Chinese, Japanese, Italian and Polynesian cuisines are available. However, it is recommended that you taste some of the local dishes like the Fia Fia. There are many options available for you to enjoy the nightlife as well.
While the Upolu island offers an awe inspiring and a pictuerisque view of the costal landscapes and the vibrant rain forests the Savaii island reflects the custure and a modest lifestyleof the natives. These are well connected by air transport and ferries. Samoa is well connected by Polymesian blue airlines that connectsto many cities across the globe. Otherwise, if you wish to go about the city, you can either rent a car or hire a taxi.
