Samoa 20096.48am 29th September 2009, Samoa... an earthquake with the 8.1 magnitude hit. 3 lads had decided to tour the island of Umpolo and see the surfing beaches on the south side, drink the local beer and sleep in beach fales. Beaches that were hit by the resulting tsunami.
Fortunatly the day before we changed our plans and headed to Savai'i instead to stay with a friends family on the north side.
I remember waking up with the whole fale rocking, wondering what the hell is going on, only to go back to sleep. The owners woke us all up a few minutes later as we were bundled in the back on a pickup truck and taken into the jungle, where we spent all day eating and learning Samoan phrases and how to husk cocanuts.
