Images from Easter Island, Page-2

We spent a fantatstic five days exploring the land of the giant moai statues - Easter Island. We covered as much ground as possible with Rano Raraku quarry being the highlight. There were so many statues at the quarry that were only half carved that it was amazing, as well as an army of moai statues standing erect. Here are a selection of pictures that we took while on the island. (Click on picture to enlarge)
