I am usually not a big fan of folk shows – few of them are really authentic, most of them are simply touristic. Anyhow, I guess, visiting one of these shows is a must while being on Easter Island – – with the culture, dances and songs just too different from most other places on the planet – below some footage.

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.
