It was different to see the King and Queen arrive at night and have the full ceremonial welcome, I liked it.

Day 2 in Samoa

King Charles and Queen Camilla received a Royal welcome. The traditional ceremony was hosted by The Head of State of the Independent State of Samoa, Le Afioga ia Tuimaleali'ifano Va'aleto'a Sualauvi II, and Ceremonial Attendants from Falelatai Village.

The King visited a conservation area in Samoa to hear about the impact of climate change on the island. Moata’a Village in Samoa’s capital city Apia was chosen to welcome the Royals after the area was badly affected by flooding in 2018.

The pupils from Moata'a Village's church school sang and danced for Her Majesty who was seen clapping and tapping her feet. After the concert, the Queen viewed paintings and drawings made by the children.

The King attended a business forum in Samoa as part of his engagements in the country.

Charles always manages to look immaculate and elegant during his visits, even if he's been out all day in the hot sun.

I really like the King's "laid back" look at the Dinner. He and the Queen were still dressed very appropriately for the occasion, but not overly formal.
It appears this entire trip will deemed a success. That's the way I look at it.

I feel this trip has been some sort of a testing field and that TMs passed with stellar marks.
