We are at the international airport in Samoa.

Have just listed to a podcast on Stoicism, so am feeling a bit more contemplative than I otherwise would.

Am starting to feel a little melancholy as our holiday draws to a close.

Every resort we’ve been to stocks the same toiletries.

What a fabulous holiday this has been. Just what the doctor ordered.

I’m writing this when I’m meant to be napping.

I forgot to mention that yesterday was the winter solstice, which actually doesn’t mean a lot here because we’re so near the equator.

Today was our last day in Apia.

Made the mistake of asking the guys at the activity desk this morning whether it would be OK for me to snorkel out beyond the reef.

Our second day in Apia.
