Let's Off Road
So, Easter Island eh. Rapa Nui. Loads of culture, Moais (that's those big head statue things to you), beautiful coastline, friendly people, really relaxed atomosphere. Yeah, whatever.
There's only one thing to do on Easter Island. Hire yourself a 4x4 and have some fun!
I've never actually driven one of these things before, and it's been about four months since I last drove anything. However, I soon got the knack back, and headed for the hills. Really, really good fun driving these things off road, going up some pretty hairy tracks and generally bashing the jeep about a bit. Good not having to worry that it was my car, bad worrying that I had no insurance. All was well that ended well, and returned car and self in good order.
Actually, the Maoi are a fantastic sight. Hard to believe that there are people who land on Easter Island and don't bother to take time (it only really takes a day) to see the sights. If you ever find yourself on the most isolated inhabited island in the world, give yourself a break and get off for a bit.
