Samoa

In Samoa most life happens in open-wall houses called fales. Beaches come with palm trees and few crowds. To Sua trench is great for photo and for land dwellers, roads circle the islands past sleeping dogs and kids playing cricket. Local buses look like garden sheds on wheels and for local food, the fish and fruit comes fresh. Sunday means church and big lunches. Fly in through Fiji or New Zealand, then slow down and get on island time.
