Pago Pago, American Samoa

We docked in Pago Pago.  Again we're on a working dock so this ship was in the midst of loading.
 View from the stern of the Noordaam



 We booked a tour for this stop.  We were told the transportation is via "Island buses" so no AC or other frills!
 They were right.  This is the inside of the bus and the seats were wooden and small.  AC was having no glass in the windows!
 Our tour guide told us there is one of everything on the Island but there are two McDonalds.
 Here foreigners are not allowed to own property.  The properties are handed down from generation to generation and grandma, grandpa and other family members are buried on the property.  Some in fancy crypts like this and others with just a marker on their gravesite.  Apparently they don't have cemeteries.
