Apia Samoa Land of Two Seasons - Hot and Hotter

The best time to enjoy Apia is the first hour of each day. The coral reefs about a quarter of a mile out are continuously breaking, the hills hint of dull green and orange soil are crisp and inviting. Then an hour after that the Martian sun takes control and everything drips with heat and moisture. Everything on two legs and probably four legs move at a marsupial speed. Only the little African style buses run quickly with names like "Skippy" or "Queen Patsy".  They have a very simple schedule, they don't move until they are full.

We were going to cyber troll at the Internet cafe but the place was packed and everyone new was waiting to connect at $8 an hour. One couple was Skyping with family, stealing the bandwidth, and annoying the room especially as the conversation never left the "we're in Apia Samoa" phase. After a long walk we found an outside cafe that served $2.50 beers to bedraggled, hot cruisers and enjoyed conversation with tow Canadian sisters.
