The flight to Easter Island
Adios mainland Chile
and 5 hours of nothing but blue
a rough landing in heavy winds and rain
New Years morning after BBQ with a local crowd and my Santiago hostel friend Nicolas who inspired the trip
who introduced us to our first Mois
and took us across the island to a beach
for some much needed rest
back in town the weather has changed
another Moi
take a walk up the volcano
looking back on town
a long hot and tiringly slow climb
for a beautiful view

A day around the island by bicycle to the quarry
where they carve the statues from the side of a second smaller volcano
inside the smaller volcano
the most famous site

another chinese bike story
and back to Santiago (or rather Valparaiso)
