Easter Island, Part 4 - TONGARIKI

Arfur and Shelly Visit an island that they have been wanting to see for many years. An island shrouded in mystery. An island where great heads and bodies carved in volcanic rock stand guard along the coast. Easter Island - home of the Moai. We walk around the base of the 15 Moai at Tongariki relatively quickly, as the island tour groups start to arrive after we parked up (added to the cruise ship passengers that might soon turn up!). The wind was again, quite strong and unfortunately, the sound has drowned out half the commantary....not a bad thing, some might say :) Still at least it was warm.......

Easter Island - Ahu Tongariki and Rano Raraku

View looking down on Ahu Tongariki and up at Rano Raraku. Rano Raraku supplied the stone from which about 95% of the island's known monolithic sculpture (Moai) were carved.
