We thought it was a welcome, but looks like it was a rain dance

Port security in full ceremonial garb. They wear it to show respect to guests. Beautiful guys.

We bypassed the funky buses to grab a local cab up the road.. same price

Blue skies teased is for about 5 minutes

Quick chance to snap a selfie between rain dumps

Not sure how they managed to set up WW2 battlements in these lush hills

First off and a quick trip meant an empty laundry!

As close as we could get due to poor road conditions

What did the pirate day on his 80th birthday? Aye Matey!

Only cruise with fireworks at sea. Apparently biodegrades into fish food

Pago Pago

2023年10月19日, アメリカ領サモア ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

Pago Pago (pronounced ?Pongo Pongo -maybe due to the tuna cannery) was our first day release from the ship. The welcome was warm, but wet. We obviously had not made a sufficient sacrifice to Ra. Where are the kids when you need them?
(Probably should've "borrowed" one from Oceaneers' Club)
Hiking plans were washed away. It ended up being a speed dating style tour of the island with our super friendly but NESB taxi driver who we found on the day. The island is amazingly lush, with scattered colourful villages complete with roaming chickens and small crops.
Back on board it was pirate day. We didn't really get into the crazy dancing side of the celebrations, preferring to get some R&R.もっと詳しく
