The motorcycle is once again proving to be a fantastic way to explore! We used the local bus the first two days, and they were super. The buses are made of wood, right here in Samoa. They are made of plywood, and covered with a thin sheet of steel. They are painted with crazy colors, and have great stereo systems that are always on.
The people are friendly, but not the same as in Tonga. In Tonga the people wave and smile at me as if we are old friends, while the people here in Samoa, wave and smile, but not with the same gusto!
The island is very angular with high and super steep mountains. The jungle is very dense, and the only flat land is at the base of the mountains and quite limited.
The locals love Americans and America, and do not feel at all like the French Polynesians, who are not fond of the French at all.
Prices are less than half of those in French Polynesia, and the people speak English!!
Courage
