Goodbye Easter Island and Hello Samoa


[Wednesday, January 28] and landing on [Thursday, January 29]

After our morning sunrise photo shoot and then a buffet breakfast at the beach, we prepared to leave Easter Island.  We had one last visit - to visit Orongo, the ceremonial center of the birdman cult and to see Ranu Kau, an extinct volcano.
