Tatiana Motel FUGALEI - UpoluCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa | ||
Hello guys, I am arriving into Faleolo on Dec. 5 between 11pm and midnight. Actually wondering how I can arrive, get to town, find a place to sleep and the following morning catch the boat that will (possibly) leave from the east of Upolu towards Pago Pago. | ||
`Alex, believe it or not there is a public bus right across the street from the airport. The first bus leaves about 4 AM but by the time you get out of customs it might be worth it. Otherwise you can get in a mini bus and share the fare with other passengers to town. Maybe 10 US dollars apiece. Don't know about that hotel. I can get back to you on that later. Its already 10:50PM here. From Pago. John | 1 | |
Hey John, thanks. If it was during the day, I would just try my luck, but at midnight... The last thing I want to do is staying up the whole night just to wait for the boat next morning. So, would like to have something booked for the time when I arrive there. Ideally close to the port, but I believe that won't be possible... | 2 | |
Oh, and also have been trying to get in touch with these guys: taumesina.hideaway@gmail.com. | 3 | |
Is it really as ghetto as people online make it sound? | 4 | |
Are you asking about the hotel? If that's the case, then here is my review on TA: | 5 | |
Alex, I know the guys that Hideaway's website if you need to reach them. | 6 | |
