SAMOA

was a home of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson the last 4 years of his life.

It is now preserved as a money spinning museum, the only tourist attraction  on the island worthy of a visit.

I was on Samoa in 2019 when sailing around the world on Queen Victoria. It was a joy. The street had holes covered with a carpet. A carpet. The taxi driver who followed me as I walked to town was persistened and hiring him to take me to the museum  was the best decision I made that day.Informative, amusing, I invited

him for a fruit juice at the Aggie Grey hotel, now a part of Sheraton chain.

This time the taxi driver was not quite up to scratch, talking to him was a torture,but the moctails my sister and I enjoyed at the hotel were the best, the best I had in my entire life.
