Apia, Upolu, Samoa

January 20, 2024.

There is a dateline between the two Samoas. Same time zone. Same culture. 

I did a 4-mile walk into town and back. The highlight was the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. Magnificent stained glass. The ceiling was tropical hardwoods.

View from the ship, then across the street. 

The inside. Not normally open to tourists.  They were preparing for a funeral and the priest said I could go in.

An unusual statue in a Chinese funded garden near the Cathedral. 

A clock tower in the middle of a large traffic circle.
