The flights to Ester Island were knackering, almost 24 hours Cuzco to Lima (7hrs wait), Lima to Santiago (2 hrs wait) then 6 hr flight here, but well worth it, it is lovely here.
It is really chilled out and relaxed. We are staying in a little bungalow by the sea with kitchen, dining room and on suite bathroom, so have managed to cook an evening meal with sparse goods from the many supermarkets and can cook breakfasts and lunches!! We have been eating out 3 times a day for 6 weeks, nice to have a change!
We have lots of cats and dogs that vist our little veranda!
Yesterday was our first full day here, we hired a jeep and visited all the Moais (statues) and ahus (alters). All very impressive and nice to see the Island. It is much greener and has more vegitation than we expected. It is only small abt 10km wide and 25km long.
There was a lovely sunset yesterday and big blue waves with white spray crashing into the volcanic rocks. We sat by a Moais drinking a beer watching the sun go down.
We went to a none active
volcano and looked into the crater this am and are taking it easy this afternoon. It is great because it is light untill 9pm. We have found some nice resteraunts so are going for a meal later. Hopefully some nice seafood for me and a big steak for Ady! Hopefully we will find a nice sunset before we go, it has been a lovely day again today.
