Day 8 - Pago Pago, American Samoa

Pago Pago's harbour formed when a volcano's seaward wall collapsed and the sea rushed in. It is considered one of the world's most beautiful natural anchorages — a deep fjord-like arm cutting through Tutuila's steep volcanic interior. The surrounding mountain peaks rise abruptly from the Pacific, and the island's windward slopes remain carpeted in breadfruit, mango, and coconut palm.

Apia is the only town of Samoa, the first independent state of Polynesia, sitting on the north coast of Upolu island with a population of just under 40,000. The Samoan way of life remains rooted in tradition: open-sided thatched fales are found throughout the town, and locals wear the traditional lavalavas and mumu-style dress. The markets burst with handicrafts and local produce, and Samoa holds the distinction of being the last place on Earth to see each day's sunset.
