First stop: Manaia SPA... divine! not to mention how great it is to be with Gio' again. Lucy was my Valentine this year... awesome! ;-)
I though i could not possibly leave this archipelago without visiting the very last, and oldest, island, Savai'i (from which the name Hawai'i comes from).
How can you tell it is sunday in Samoa?
Outriggers, fales, white sand beaches, coconuts... 
This church had quite a lava flow entering from the main door... don't forget that, like Hawaii, these islands were formed by an hotspot... which means lots of volcanoes....
I love this sign too!
Like in Rome... churches everywhere!
Finding bird nests in the lava tunnels...
Sleeping on one of the most majestic trees in the world! A 30m high banyan tree. Unique. Must do.
The rental car was one of the high light as well... inefficient brakes, volatile roof, hand written license plate, cat pee? we loved it!
This church was destroyed by the waves of an hurricane. It is scaring to think about the power of the sea. Apparently the inhabitant of the village swam to the next village for more protection, while many others hided in the lava tubes.
This is the westernmost place on Earth (or the one closer to the day zone line). Tomorrow is just a sight away...
And here we have an old man having fun trowing cuconuts in the blow hole. It was just a show watching him laughing and saying "come on wave..." But the coconut did go flying out at least 20 meters! very impressing!!! 
It will be hard not to miss this place... tomorrow I am leaving...
Thanks Lucy for the great weekend!!! I will miss you!! Maybe see you in Bangor, city of happiness, next!
