Easter Island

Well, we were passing through - it would have been rude not to stop. The major attraction is the large number of Moai lying around - mostly on their backs.


There's also a few nice volcanic craters...


And a rugged (north Cornwall-like but with sharper rocks) coast with some nice restaurants with decent views...


We decided we needed a 4 x 4 to get around and thought that the £85 for 2 days wasn't too bad - until we discovered it didn't include insurance. It wasn't that insurance was extra - there wasn't any to be had on the island at all! It's quite a long time since I've driven around without any tax or insurance. And driving on the track they specifically recommended against (4-wheel drive definitely needed) without said insurance was a bit reckless.

The usual ridiculous number of photos here and here.
