I know, I know we have been back from holiday for nearly 2 weeks and as yet have not written 1 word on this blog to tell you about the WONDERFUL and FANTASTIC time we had showing Mum and Dad around Samoa!!
You will notice that I have managed to finish uploading a whole lot of new photos for you though not to mention 3 videos of us swimming with the turtles and visiting the blow holes. Swimming with the turtles was the most MAGNIFICENT thing I have ever done and the photos do it justice so I hope you enjoy.
So we greeted Mum and Dad at Faleolo airport on the 7th April with 2 freshly made flower leis and a hearty "Talofa lava and welcome to Samoa"!!!! They were doing OK having had a day of travelling. Unfortunately at 7.30pm at night they could not see much of the coastline as we drove to Apia but that joy was saved for another day. After raiding the frangipani trees at the airport for flowers (I know how much Mum likes frangipani) we arrived home and cooked a simple BBQ dinner and unpacked the goodies from the suitcases!! Lots of chocolate to fill up the fridge with and Birthday presents - yay!
The next day we spent around Apia walking on the sea wall, visiting the craft markets for souviners, going for a tour of the Robert Louis Stevenson house, visiting the Mailelani soap factory for a tour and explanation of how they make the soap with coconut oil and Samoan fragrances and then finishing a day with a cocktail in the Aggies bar before seeing friends for dinner.
