wksamoa 23:05 UTC 06 Apr 2008 | The sources of information you used so far appear to be much outdated I am afraid. So be careful about any other information as well that you might find there. First of all: the country's name is Samoa or Independent Samoa. The old colonial "Western Samoa" was abolished in 1997 already, eleven years ago. This might give you an idea how outdated your sources are ... Green Turtle Tours do not exist anymore as well for some years now. There are no regular daily tours anymore around the islands. I am not sure if the Hidden Garden is still existing - haven't heard or seen anything of them for quite a while now. Maybe some others know more. In any case Hidden Garden is/was not a beach fale accomodation. It is/was a house in a suburb of Apia. No beach around there. Edited by: wksamoa | 1
