We drove to the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum and took the short trail, half and hour, up Mt. Vaea to Robert Louis Stevenson's Grave. It is a reasonably steep climb and we required frequent breaks as we ascended because it is a very hard climb in the hot and humid conditions. When we reached the top where we had an excellent view over Apia, we were greeted by a large number of mosquitos, so only stayed a short while. We took the long trail, 45 minutes, back down and when we arrived at the museum I had to buy a new tee-shirt because the one I was wearing was wringably soaked. They consensus seems to be that you should climb Mt. Vaea in the very early morning and be on the summit to see the Sun rise and only fools like us climb it in the middle of the day.

We then continued along the cross island road, stopping to look at the alien structure that is the Bahai temple, and continued on to the Togitogina Falls. These were a bit of a disapointment because they had very little water in them. However the Sopoaga Falls were very impresive, falling about 200 feet over cliffs, covered in vegetation. We then headed back to Apia via the impressive Le Mafa Pass, where the view from the central mountains out over the coastal plain to the reef is spectacular.
