When they give the forecast it's been chance of rain every day but we haven't had any. However, we are in the tropics so I think some showers are always possible. Awoke to beautiful blue skies in Apia. It is 7:32 Am on 4/18 - tomorrow we cross the date line so will have a second Thursday. I think we are just arriving as we have a tug starboard and I can see the thrusters churning away. Edited April 17 by Jim_Iain 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that and have to catch up with posting Suva pictures here. I love CC but they are a little difficult to post videos as I have to first upload to YouTube.

I hope you get to meet Jim and Cheryl 😁 Aloha from Maui 🌺Kelley & Dan 🌺 Will look for them. It always amazes me on how many passengers are on the ship and depending on ones schedule often never see or meet people that eat early or late.

I was thinking that Apia and Pago couldn't handle more than one ship at a time. Hope it remains beautiful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have heard some good reviews.... Unfortunately we never go to the shows. The timing interferes with Cocktail and Dinner time. We usually meet up with friends at 7:30 and dinner at 8:55. Maybe some night we will have to grab a show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 17 Author #808 Share Posted April 17 Let’s backtrack to Suva. We took a Tour that @abbydancer2003 arranged with tour by locals. I think think there were 8 of us. Great job Abby. We met our driver and took off to explore Suva. Just a puddle of paint. Ok I’m weird some things just catch my eye had to post a door. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 17 Author #820 Share Posted April 17 All caught up and ready for APIA, SAMOA Old world and new collide in Apia, Samoa's harborside capital - the capital city of the South Pacific island nation of Samoa. Offshore, near Vaiala beach, Palolo Deep Marine Reserve is a stretch of reef with a deep, coral-lined hole. The Robert Louis Stevenson Museum is housed in the writer's restored home. Nearby, at the top of Mount Vaea, is his grave. In the city center, the country's natural history and cultural heritage are the focus of the Museum of Samoa. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
