It’s a long way from Easter Island to Australia, so we stopped in Samoa for one night and a little r and r before we continued our journey. Lovely ladies met us as we exited the plane and draped leis around our necks, and then we were ushered into the terminal where a local group performed a tradtional dance. This was the beginning of one big party on this lovely island. At out hotel, situated on a pretty beach, we were treated to a Samoan-style celebration known as
FiaFia where we were treated to local speci
alties including
palusami, a popular dish made from the leaves of the taro plant and coconut cream and cooked in an
umu, an earthen oven, and
oka, raw fish marinated in a mixture of lemon juice, coconut cream, salt and onions. After dinner we had yet another performance of traditional music and dance. Our staff had given all of us colorful lava lavas to wear. Even the men wrapped themselves up and joined in the fun.
