Day 89 February 6th 2007, Costal Walk - Easter Island

In the last 2 days we have seen almost the whole island and driven on every paved road, this left just the North East side of the Island unexplored, with no roads as such the only way round is by foot. We trekked for six hours starting at Anekena and Finishing in Hanga Roa. We caught a cab to Anekena, on hearing what we planned to do the taxi driver stopped the taxi at a furniture warehouse and brought out a large bottle of water insisting that we take it. What a nice guy. This brought our quota up to nearly 6 litres and boy were we grateful for that extra water. After spending a couple of hours on the beach we started our walk around midday, because of the time zone offset the midday sun didn't get going until about 3PM and then it got going all right.

On Bill's advice we saved ourselves $8 on a map and followed his instructions, keeping the big blue thing on our right. The only person we came across was a horse farmer about half way round.
On the topic of horses many locals still use them as a form of transport on the Island.


We finished the day off at the festival and due to what I would describe as excessive exercise I treated myself to excessive meat from the BBQ
