The final part of this ‘epic’ trip had started. The flight from Santiago to Easter Island was delayed by 3.5 hours – so instead of getting to Easter Island midday, I only arrived there in the late afternoon.

As usual I got organized (hey – I am German … no point to deny that), checking out what to do over the next days. After that I started out to explore the island’s capital (and only major settlement) Hanga Roa and its immediate surroundings – including some first Ahus and Moais.
