So after two weeks in the moderately cold New Zealand we headed to the extremely warm island of Samoa in the South Pacific!! We spent two days in the capital, Apia where we did some general site seeing and a little window shopping, and we also had a night out there which was awesome as the people in the club we went to were so friendly and kept coming up and talking to us and making us feel really welcome.
