Dia Tres

The 5 of us squeeze into our hired 4x4 and lkeave the dangers of town to explore the barren, rocky volcanic island that is Rapa Nui. It is most famous for its massive rock carved Maoi statues scattered around. They were carved and erected by two tribes which lived on the island. The tribes had a war and went about it sensibly by knocking over each others statues. A few years back the Japanese came and stood them all back up. It`s great to imagine how long it took them to carve all 600 and move them around, but to be honest I thought they would be bigger and once you`ve seen one, you`ve seen them all. I am much more into the gigantic volcanoe craters and driving up them in my new toy - a cheap Japanese 4x4.
Back to the cookoo nest and out for dinner. Bed by 2.
