Santiago is a nice town but too many weeks in the same place can make travelling a little dull.
The Easter Islands (or Isla Pascua in Spanish) is a 5 hour flight due west from Santiago and is a dot in the middle of the Pacific. How they ever found it in the first place is beyond me.
The flight actually continues on to Tahiti, I did think about it, but that would just be down right flash! And no one could ever accuse me of that eh?
This is a picture from the web but i will be off exploring over the next few days and will post my own pictures when i can (writing this from a wifi Cafe the only way to communicate with the outside world).
The pictures should be ok as i dont think the statues move too sharpish, it will also be a pleasure to photograph something with a bigger nose than mine.
Not seen 1 easter egg in the shops! They are missing a tremendous commercial opportunity....or maybe not.
Yet another fantastic opportunity, cutting the grass and trimming the hedges is going to be one hell of an anticlimax on your return.
ReplyDeleteHmm, hadn´t looked at it like that, not sure that is on the agenda for a while yet!
DeleteFlash git! Palm Sunday at the Basilica in La Paz not to shabby though?
ReplyDeleteWhat is this the Wilkins boys find religion ? Next thing you know Reg will be at the Abbey instead of the alter in the Digby Tap?
He would only drink what was in the font and complain it wasn´t up to snuff
DeleteLooks like the Wilkins clan - Happy Easter to you too!
ReplyDeleteWhich bit - the fact that they all have their hands in their pockets waiting for someone else to get the round in?
