My photo of lizard.

We went on the Robert Louis Stevenson’s tomb walk yesterday it was about 30 minute walk up a steep hill. We saw some lizards, we collected some seeds that they use on leis and are used as marbles they come from the tree that they use for making Samoan canoes. When we got up the top there was a really cool view over the Apia harbour and the island. Dad saw a flying fox (fruit bat). We went the long way back and the short way up, it took an hour to get back down. We saw some kapok pods which was the first time we have seen them open. The long way back had lots of obstacles in the way but was not as steep. We also found a huge snail shell, Dad throw it at a tree as the snails are now a pest and destroy the crops. We saw an old bridge but we didn’t need to walk on it.
