Geocache Description:

In the far South East of Upolu Island lies the beautiful Lalo Manu (which means under the bird). It's a fantastic location to come and stay for a few days snorkelling, swimming, enjoying the sand and the sea.

 


It takes about 90 minutes to drive here from Apia or you can catch the public bus, or go by taxi. Once here it's time to unwind..stay a night or 5 at the local beach bungalows ..from the beach in Lalo Manu you can see American Samoa on the horizon off to the East. (Have a look for it at dawn when it's silhouetted against the horizon). Keep in mind whatever day it is in Samoa, it's the day before in American Samoa.

You can watch yesterdays Sunrise over American Samoa while enjoying the sun on the beach in Samoa as about 50km East of here lies the International Dateline which Samoa moved back in 2009 (goes to show what can be done with Samoan strength).

During the end of year when the sun is in the Southern Hemisphere the sunrises and sets over the water.

Enjoy relaxing on this photogenic beach, feel free to post your favourite photos of the beach when you find the black magnetic nano cache, or maybe send a traditional post card from tropical paradise.
