hi Kat or shall i say noaia e mauri! I stumbled across your web page and I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I read your very first entry above, before you came to Fiji. I bet you never imagined that you would meet your Shrek in Fiji!! ha ha by the way, what an amazing journal you have kept of all your travels. I got lost reading through and looking at all your pictures. I had to try really hard to actually get some work done. filo

I must say reading about your Samoan experience made me a little homesick (actually, VERY homesick). My family and I have not been back to Samoa for almost 20 years now. I think it's about time for a long over-due visit! I'm glad to hear that my country still looks and maintains that clean and pollution free society and environment. From your tales, I remember Samoa exactly the way you described it. I know we're slowly catching up to the western ways of the rest of the world, but I think Samoa is the only country that has managed to sustain and practice it's culture and values or as we say, the "Fa'a Samoa" ways. Thank you so much for sharing. My sentiments for going back for a visit are getting stronger!! =) Pauline

It is indeed Ben. Glad you enjoyed reading my blog. Sounds like you are far more familiar with Samoa than I am, so thanks for sharing your experience of it.

A great page, thank you, I would love to visit this Republic. It was best said with "beauty and devastation". A sad but fascinating tale.

Samoa- indeed a best kept secret
I enjoyed reading of your travel to Samoa. My dad was a Congregational pastor.... our family got an assignment to Samoa in 1980. My paretns stayed there until 1995, when Dad passed away. Those days, there wasn't any electricity not running water in our village, but the beauty of Samoa outweighed the lack of these basic needs. Every sunset was different but just a majestic. The sound of rain was soothing and a full moon mesmerizing. My parents have passed on, but I take my kids to Samoa to get back to nature and share with them the God's creation of heaven on earth. We spent the last week of 2007 and the first week of 2008 there and even took my kids to Church. Indeed, Samoa is one of the world's best kept secret!

Colo-i-suva
Yes, it's the same place. And yes, the food is pretty good. And it's a beautiful spot. When did you visit there?

Bulldozer in the bottom of the lagoon!?
Your picture looks VERY familiar. Do you remember reading somewhere in the lodge (maybe on the menu) that the lagoon next to the lodge used to be a quarry? Further, I seem to remember that for some reason the quarry filled with water with the quarry bulldozer at the bottom. Sound about right? If this is the place I'm thinking of, the rooms are very nice and the food was great, yeah?

heat
Luckily for you your island Kiribati obviously wasn't that hot; you could sit outside and read. Seems to me the heat in Greece is getting worse every summer ( hothouse effect!!) and so we haven't sat outside for about a week ! I enjoy reading your travelblog and especially the wonderful pictures. What about a career as an author........

Yes definitely a small world...iapart from the palm trees everywhere (which I did not photograph) and the searing heat (which is impossible to photograph), there were a lot of similarities with Greek land(sea)scapes!

Corrections!
Hi Wendy! Yes, that was a funny typo...which I felt compelled to correct. I then spotted a couple more. I will have to proof read my entries more thoroughly...or maybe I should leave that to you? As a source of amusement?
