Circus of Samoa...

One of the interesting entertainment activities that we were blessed to have been able to view, with my family, whilst in Samoa was the Samoa circus of which I had heard about in NZ and most recently when advertised in Samoa.

We had the privilege of going together with my Aunt & Uncles "Return to Paradise" staff team to view the entertainment. It was very last minute as we were told about an hour beforehand that there were some spare tickets if we could get there.

Well, of course, I definitely wasn't going to miss the opportunity so we quickly got ready, jumped into our people mover van/car as another Aunt had brought the message to us.

Thankfully it was in the evening and deep behind my mother's village of Faleula where the Circus or Fiafia Park is located and it was easy to find with the directions of my Aunt.

Well we had a ball with VIP parking and with a real carnival atmosphere i.e. a Candy Floss machine (yum), pop corn, drinks etc. with rides such as a Ferris wheel, Carousel complete with animal characters, bright shiny lights all over and that was even before we got into the shiny yellow circus tent.

There were so many acts with a 30 minute intermission to boot whereupon you could purchase whizzing lights for the children to play with that would light up the surroundings. It was definitely a circus atmosphere that the children loved and I quite enjoyed as well.

A big thank you to the "Return to Paradise" team in 'hooking us up' with the tickets and also giving us a great night out that was definitely unexpected and totally worth the quick ride. I would definitely recommend the show if you ever get a chance to have a look next time you're in Samoa...
