Nz here we come

We are off to nz for our friends wedding. It is very hot here today. The cyclone has passed the sky is again blue the sea looks lovely and the air is as humid as while all the moisture of the last few days drys up. We had one of the calmest trips to the airport ever. At least not fearing for our lives this time! No hair raising overtaking manouvers. The view out the taxi window was lovely. Samoa really is a beautiful place. Reminds us why we are really here. As usual the airport is filthy. Cant find a clean place to sit. Trip to the toilet not much better but hey there was toilet paper and liquid soap so ill take it! A security man appeared from somewhere to help with the bags. This was a first. Gave him a few tala for his trouble. Bet he gets paid a pittance. Bet he also knows which palagis to target for the tips! Well must be time to peruse the meagre offerings in the shop. That said i usually find something to spend my money on!
