🌏 Around the World by Car - 6th Continent: Apia, Samoa! 🚗💨
Apia, nestled along the northern coast of Upolu Island in the South Pacific, is the vibrant capital and main port of Samoa. Like many Pacific nations, locals—both men and women—love wearing the traditional "Lavalava" (sarong skirt) 👗. Even the buses here are a riot of colors! 🚌🎨 🏰 Faith & Culture: Samoa is deeply Christian, so churches are everywhere—including the stunning South Pacific Cathedral ⛪. When locals heard I’d traveled from afar, they warmly showed me around Apia’s largest market, bursting with handicrafts, tropical fruits 🍍, and traditional clothing. 🚗 Adventure Begins: During peak travel season, rental cars were sold out everywhere! After a long wait, I finally scored one and hit the road to explore Upolu Island—Samoa’s heartland. 📸 Highlights: Apia Samoa Temple ✨ (a gleaming Mormon landmark) Coastal drives with turquoise waters 🌊 Jungle trails & waterfall pitstops 🌿💦 #ChenMengGlobalRoadTrip #RoundTheWorldByCar #TravelTheGlobe #RoadTripAdventures #Apia #SamoaTemple #Samoa #ExploreSamoa 🌴✨
