South Island Gallery / Cycle touring / 2011-10 Cycle touring in Samoa  


We went cycle touring around the two big Samoan islands of Savai'i and 'Upolo. Nice quiet roads, awesome snorkelling, surprisingly good food, a few mangy dogs, and four days of warm torrential rain. 420km, almost all on sealed roads and not entirely flat--download Google Earth KML file.
