Day 66 - Maori and Moai
... the Moai wold break free from the rock. It would slide down the hill in the path dug by the men and fall bottom first into the pit at the bottom. The momentum would force it to stand erect in the hole. They would then start carving the design on the back and, once complete, it would be moved to the platform site and erected. Absolutely amazing process to creat these stations that each with several tonnes. We were blown away by the dedication that these people must ...

“nice, but not enough”
Reviewed May 4, 2011
the hotel is picturesque, with very good location in the city, the manager(Kim Ross from USA) is one of the best you could have, the personnel friendly, but, the facilities and the rooms are almost a tragedy. you even must ask for having hot water in the morning. the owner should put more money on it, since i cant say its a cheap option
