To Sua
Trench
As an island in the pacific, Samoa is as
one big volcano as it’s lava fields form grounds for life for human, animal and
plant. We visited To Sua (pr. Tor Sue-ah)
that showed stunning blowholes with beautiful coral the colour of the fish is
the most sharp that I have ever seen.

We swam in trench about 40 metres deep (so cool!) after we climbed down the
ladder into it’s cave-like appearance. Submerging into the cave’s warm salt
water, was as breathtaking as the life forms through out the colourful coral of
the blowholes.

To Sua is also the final resting place of a
very significant female figure who we were pleasantly surprised to learn of.
Her gravestone reads;
This is the final resing
place of
Masiofo Fuatino Fetauimalemau Mataafa Fiame Faumuina Mulinu’u II.
She was also Orator Chief Laulu.
…
the first First Prime
Minister of the Independent State of Samoa.
…
A renowned woman leader in
the fields of the Church, Education, the advancement of women and Diplomacy. Born in 1928, her name FETAUIMALEMAU meaning
to
“coincide with the MAU
{independence movement}” commemorated a significant era in Samoa’s history.
She seems like one very cool lady.

Irra, I have been drinking in your posts! What a beautiful place and a beautiful trip! I'm feeling slightly jealous because of the cold we are experiencing here in Utah right now... :) Thanks for sharing!
