We have now returned from our days in Easter Island. We really enjoyed the island, it was a very tropical island with beautiful scenery and a fabulous array of huge and often scented flowers which were in many different colours. the statues were huge and mysterious and it is easy to see why all the stories have been written about them and their purpose. We viewed them at sunrise and at sunset. We spent time on a beach that was all pink and golden sand with coconuts and palms and the water was even warm enough for me to swim! it felt rather weird being without our trucks and we were glad to find them safe at the end of the week. The next stop will be Argentina again to visit another national park and then we will cross back to view the world famous observatories in northern Chile. We are still really enjoying our adventure and can't believe that we are halfway through the trip. today we visited Valparaiso on the eastern coast and we did our 6000th mile! tourism is still in it's infancy in this country but the people more than make up for it.
