Transcript

On a Sunday morning it's not uncommon to wake up to the rich, smoky smell of the Samoan earth oven, the umu, as the surrounding villages prepare for their day of rest and family time.

Christianity is very strong in Samoa, and you'll find the churches are always full on a Sunday morning.

Well, we've just been to their Sunday church service. And it is something that I reckon everyone who comes to Samoa really should do and experience. Even if it's just to see the locals dressed in their beautiful Sunday best, and listen to their angelic voices as they sing from their heart. It really is a great experience.

Falealupo is the western-most point of Samoa, and is now the first place in the world to see the sunset. So take a picnic, sit down on the beach, and enjoy.
