We are now on Easter Island, learning to live like the idle rich it seems. It is very green, very muggy! We arrived mid afternoon and have rested in and around our cabin and the hotel’s swimming pool.
Our hotel is the Hotel Altiplanico Isla de Pascua.
We were up at 6 AM, and had a 5 and half hour flight over 3 hours later. We also spent 2+ hours queuing, which is very tiring. The Chilean way seems to be to make queuing as long as possible: even when our documents have been checked by the immigration police, they are then checked by security, and then by the stewardesses before we board. Collecting baggage is another interminable waiting game.
All of which meant we resisted the non existent temptation to walk three kilometres into town in the heat of the day.
So far, no pictures of Easter Island … later I’ll get the camera out. But there could be a piece about Antarctica coming up … but internet connection here is very flaky so nothing might happen!
