O Le Pupu Pue Coastal Walk

The day after Cyclone Amos ended we decided to drive to the south side of the island and do a little hike.  We had heard about this coastal walk from tripadvisor.  So off we went!  As we drove over Cross Island road we saw a lot of banana trees down and a bunch of coconut trees as well.  We found the entrance to the park and had heard that if the gate wasn't open could call a number and someone could come and open it for us. Luckily for us it was open.

This is the road we drove down.  The guy in the orange shirt is using a machete to cut back the tall grass and plants and trees and whatever else was in his way.  That's the Samoan's favorite tool!! We followed along and passed the orange shirt guy and made it to the car park.

We were so happy that we didn't have to walk an hour to where the walk began.  Here is our first view from the path.

What the coast looks like there.  This part of the island has no beach, but tall cliffs that the waves crash up on.

Looking down the cliff at the ocean waves.

The tree that Marc is leaning up against is a Fasa tree.  The roots grow above the ground to help support the tree.  They grow all over the place in this area.

Some coast pictures.

There were a few little islands just a little bit away from the land and the waves come crashing through the tunnels.  So impressive!

We love all the shades of blue in the waves here.

Here is a short video of the waves coming through that larger island.  Wish you were here!
