Easter Island is truly an amazing place. I spent a week there and didn/t managed to see everything I wanted to - even though it/s barely 65 square miles in size.

Never knew of "EASTER ISLAND" until my granddaughter and I started working on a puzzle map. Now I'm looking up the 7-wonders of the world. Thanks for letting me enjoy such wonderful pictures!!!!

The Easter Island is such an ENCHANTING place! Would like to see this place in the future. Your pics are GREAT since you included people beside the moai. It gives an idea how BIG they really are. (Didn't know that they're that big!)

The Spud Gets around
Nice to see the spud again, up to his old tricks. And as always, the guy he hands his camera to, to get the pictures, has done an excellent job.

Cheers, K
