Moai fun on Easter Island
... amazing hotel (we still miss it!) and I think were the only people from there to walk down to the bus station and catch a "colectivo", or shared ride.

Mesmerising Moai on Isla de Pascua
... almost cloudless) sky was spectacular. The photos are good, but do little justice to actually being here.
So by day we travelled to different Moai sites, and by night we sought entertainment in the form of earth bbq's, tradtional dance and face painting! Oh, and I learnt the Rapa Nui word for wine, Uri Uri :)
Quirk: This island has an eerines to it. Many visitors comment on either feeling invigorated and re-energised, or completely drained. There ...
