The trip has started.

So here we are in Samoa, Savaii Island cycling around, day one, say us, on the ferry, off the ferry, lunch then on the road to Lano for the night. Road has been busy but plenty of kids to talk to and photograph. As the famous photographer Ernst Hass commented "Set the stage and the players will come", the stage for me is my bicycle as it attracts attention from the kids and adults a like. Or maybe it is because I am white and talk funny. Tomorrow we head over the lava fields to Manase ,the lave church and plenty of small hills and plantations to pass.
