Iceland Rock assists clients on Father's Day

Father's Day is this Sunday and if you are looking for something beautiful for your father, try Island Rock Company Ltd. Iceland Rock has since the beginning of the weeks Fathers Day special and owners, Tuaopepe Jerry Wallwork, said that they are pleased to help clients select the perfect present at an affordable rate.

"We usually have Mother's Day and Independence Day promotions, but we didn't have anything for Father's Day, so we did an Early Birds Day promotions last Saturday, and the result was good," he said. He said he believed that dads played an important part as the leader of the household, so it is important that Island Rock makes this an unforgettable time.

Our sales are at lower than our costs, and that is something we want to do for them. "One thing I want to emphasize is that we are not making any money from these promotions, but as long as we help the Samoa community, that is the most important thing for us.

"Last weeks we were able to offer our clients a wide range of products including AC systems, cell telephones, TVs, laptop computers and much more at very competitive rates. "Most of the clients who came last weekend were struggling for the laptop computers because we sold them at a very low cost. "Some of the clients came after the early bird promotions and wanted the notebooks we sold during the promotions, so we gave them a rebate and they were overjoyed.

Savai'i - Samoa's Vulcan Hot Spot

During our brief sojourn in Samoa it was all about relax in everything the place had to provide, but it turned out that we were not good enough to relax for long. So, we agreed not to miss the chance for a full outing to Samoa's largest island, Savai'i. From the Mulifanua shipyard in the northwest of the island, the boat will leave Upolo in 90 mins. for the cross.

At Salelaloga Kai on the Savai'i side you can collect a chauffeur and tour leader who will take you to where you want to go at a reasonable pricef. It is a good notion to have an notion of what you want to see and to arrange the prize with the rider.

When you have the spare moment, there are a few busses on the island, but the optional bus seemed to us to be the best one. All the places we wanted to go to were scattered all over the island and we only had one of them. The first stop was the Alofaaga Blowholes in Taga, a 30-minute cruise along the southwestern cost.

In the last 100 years a volcano erupted and formed a net of rocks, galleries and caverns near Taga. This is a really nice coast to discover and the advantage of the drivers for the days is that you choose how long you want to be there. One part of this area contains an area where the volcano hid in a former lake, while the tides work every single working days to recover it.

After that we went about one hours with a few stopovers at scenically attractive places along the way to the Saleaula Lavafields in the northeast. That was at the top of my Samoa sightseeing tourbillon. They were planted where melted volcano from the Mt. Matavanu outbreak between 1905 and 1911 left a somewhat uncanny and desolate area.

The volcanic ash from the volcano flows 13km into the ocean and buries 5 towns under a rocky crag. I can' believe there were no fatalities in the town. The story of the island is about the slowly flowing volcanic ash that gave the inhabitants enough space to get to safety and later found the town of Le'auva'a.

It is unbelievable that there are still humans in Saleaula who live on the volcanic rock whose houses are somehow connected to the hilly rock below them. A walk over the streams of water is quite strange and be careful not to twist an ankles in the fissures and caves. One senses the warmth emanating from the slippery, black rock, but this has not stopped our leader from running barefoot on him while he was sharing with us village storytelling.

Perhaps because the area was so desolate or because the immense force of the natural world was so obvious, but the areas of Lavafield have a dampened and spiritually undertones. Besides the imposing vastness of the volcanic rock, there are two major features, a temple and a craters known as the Virgin's Tomb.

Indigenous people believe that it was so clean that the volcanic ash was flowing around their tomb without touching it. Then there is the LDS-Kirche, through which the volcanic eruption passed, but let the wall stand for the last 100+ years. Once again there are strong convictions that the place was abandoned when nothing else was because of the holiness of the churches and the devotion of their community.

The next stop was the town Fagamalo for a nice luncheon and a stroll on the beachtre. It would have been possible to spend the whole afternoon on the shore and I was sorry I hadn't even gotten any floats and a bathrobe. It was definitely a must for a full days out to Savai'i.

After Fagamalo we went back to the east side of the island to the boat to Salelalogato. Samoa's big island is wonderful and we were enjoying the rough vulcanic coast. In any case we suggest to take the boat and spend a whole days on Savai'i. Did you visit the Samoan island of Savai'i or one of the outskirts of the island?

Have you got a favorite island when you need a relaxing rest?
