| Easter Island is almost completely de-forrested |
It's amazing what a private jet can do. On the flight in,
we passed over Easter Island at low levels to see the sights of
the islands (twice, so that each side of the plane could see the sights!)
 |
| 15 moai statues stand in a line at the top of the V-shaped bay (you can see them from the air) |
 |
| Volcanic crater that served as the quarry site for all the moai statues |
 |
| Volcanic crater that served as the center of the Birdman Cult for the Rapa Nui people |
At the airport on Easter Island we were greeted with bougainvillea
leis.
Hangaroa Ecolodge and Spa -- great place to stay on Easter Island
 |
| Bathtub and sink carved from lava rock |
We had a seafood buffet dinner on the beach at sunset.
