Our favourite country - Western Samoa. Fairly recently, Samoa was given their independence by the British. We were impressed with their pride of their country. Each morning, you will hear the band marching and playing their national anthem while raising the flag. While it is a poor country, it is very clean. People cleaning and sweeping the yards and streets is a common sight. Cruisers are allowed tax free on diesel, cigarettes and booze before leaving the country. I must say that this was the cheapest diesel, wine, beer and cigarettes in our whole trip.
