We went to
Easter Island or Rapa Nui as it is called in the native language, Rapa Nui by the
Rapa Nui people. We posted a bunch of photo sets on this blog. The 1st link will be a
SET with photos you can choose individually. The 2nd link will be a
SLIDESHOW of the same pix at 5 second intervals.
We had a great time, please take some time to look at the pictures if you're curious about Easter Island or our honeymoon or both. The most famous attractions are the
Moai slideshow . We
flew there (slideshow). It took over 24 hours to get there and over 53 hours to get back.
Here are some shots of
Adam and Krista (
slideshow) on Easter Island enjoying their honeymoon. We ate a lot of interesting
food (
slideshow) and Krista cooked for us as well (always delicious).
We stayed at some
comfortable places (slideshow).
We arrived during their big festival celebrating the Rapa Nui culture, called
Tapati (
slideshow).
We wore our
Food Shark uniforms (
slideshow) to a few places on the island. We also made a
video using the original version of Food Shark shark theme song found in an old email.
We got new
hiking shoes (
slideshow) for the trip. We had an amazing personal tour of the Island by a man named
Patricio (
slideshow).
There were more
trees (
slideshow) than we had expected. There were also many beautiful
plants (
slideshow).
We learned that Easter Island has one of the best
flags (
slideshow) in the world. The
landscape (
slideshow) was genuinely breathtaking.
There are more
horses (
slideshow) on Easter Island than people.
There were a couple morning
markets (
slideshow) with fresh fruits, vegetables, meats etc.
We rode
bikes (
slideshow) all over the island. Here is a
video of the bike ride.
WARNING, may take awhile to load and it is about 13 minutes long.
Easter Island is surrounded by the
Mighty Pacific (
slideshow) so of course we saw a few
boats (
slideshow).
We encountered a few interesting
vehicles (
slideshow) in our travels on the Island. Easter Island also has a large
dog (
slideshow) population which survive in large part to handouts from tourists.
Took a few
LONG exposures (
slideshow) at night.
Encountered some interesting
architecture (
slideshow) ancient, old and modern. Almost all of the little markets had signs made by
Coca Cola (
slideshow).
Of course we brought back some
souvenirs (
slideshow). Had an incredible time, wouldn't trade it for the world.
WARNING - Easter Island may be the most expensive place on Earth. We loved our vacation from life and Food Shark but we're happy to return to work?? Remember, you can revisit the blog and watch more slideshows and videos. We know there's a lot of info here. Thanks for reading.
