Update November 03, 2010: I get up at 6:00 am to catch the flight to Easter Island. Say goodbye to Lambfish and let's go. But what for a bad start in the day. I couldn't find the way out of the hostel (was looked in). Every door was looked and no key...fuck..I missed the airport shuttle bus. Fortunately I could catch the next, after I found the Hostel owner sleeping in a room and opended with sleepy eyes my door to freedom. I was in a rush and hoped I can catch the flight at the right time. I got it. I was thinking nothing else can happen anymore. And then on the airport they told me that the flight has a delay. I like it. After almost 3 hrs of delay and a flight of more than 5 hrs I saw the island from the window of the plane. What a great feeling. Rapa Nui I am coming....

How could you move a pukao like this without maschine and put it on top of the moai's? It's still a Mistery. |
