We made our way down Rano Tau again and headed for the islands interior on the worst dirt roads, I have ever used on a bike (even worse than Bolivia’s infamous Death Road, less traffic though).

At Ahu Akivi we left our bikes behind and started the hike up Maunga Terevaka (another one of the three volcanoes), with 507m the highest elevation of the island. The view got better and better the higher we made it. On top we could see the sea in all directions – again with the knowledge, that there is no inhabited island within 2000km in any direction.

On the way back we stopped at banana cave and some other spots – though after having climbed two volcanos that day, we were about to loose the spirits and decided to head back for town and some proper food.
