About the Book
A tiny island with lofty archeological records and stunning beauty, Rapa Nui delights with surprises. Spend a week with your exotic tourmates (Troy and Tamias) to uncover the human willpower and creativity that turned this distant volcanic prominence into a paradise in the middle of the southern Pacific. Easter Island offers more than the renowned monuments, the maoi statues. Mountain-biking, wave-surfing, scuba-diving, shopping in artisan markets and even in the prison, visiting a number of beaches and volcano sites, and testing the phenomenal combination of Chilean, Italian, Belgian, and Japanese la carte cuisines are in de-rigueur. Welcome to Easter Island, a wonderland that waited so long to be discovered on the Easter Day of April 5th, 1722.// Visit other travel diaries from this author: (1) Amalfi Coast, Italy; (2) Amazing Andorra; (3) Amazing Bavaria; (4) Amazing Berlin; (5) Amazing Bhutan; (6) Amazing Cave-Houses; (7) Amazing Domes; (8) Amazing Dublin; (9) Amazing Falkland Islands; (10) Amazing Finland; (11) Amazing Florence; (12) Amazing French Riviera; (13) Amazing Greenland; (14) Amazing Gozo, Malta; (15) Amazing Iceland; (16) Amazing Innsbruck; (17) Amazing Jurmala, Latvia; (18) Amazing Monaco; (19) Amazing Naples; (20) Amazing Palau; (21) Amazing Paris; (22) Amazing Railways; (23) Amazing Salzburg; (24) Amazing Scotland; (25) Amazing Tree Houses; (26) Amazing Vatican; (27) Amazing Vienna; (28) Amazing Windows; (29) Amazing Wyoming; (30) Amazing Zürich; (31) Annecy, France; (32) Austin, Texas; (33) Banff, Alberta; (34) Bruges & Ghent, Belgium; (35) Cabo San Lucas; (36) Celle, Germany; (37) Christmas Island; (38) Cocos Keeling Islands; (39) Colmar, France; (40) Cork & Kenmare, Ireland; (41) Easter Island, Chile; (42) Exquisite Bath, England; (43) Fifty Odd Loci in the United States; (44) Fiji; (45) Granada, Spain; (46) Interlaken and Saint Moritz, Switzerland; (47) Interlaken, Unterseen, St Moritz: Switzerland; (48) Island Saint Helena, British Overseas; (49) Isle of Man; (50) Lafayette, Louisiana; (51) Las Pozas, Xilitla, Mexico; (52) Lecco, Italy; (53) Lille, France; (54) Madeira, Portugal; (55) Montserrat, British West Indies; (56) Mulhouse, France; (57) Myrtle Beach, SC; (58) Nara, Japan; (59) Novo Mesto, Slovenia; (60) Obernai, France; (61) Odd & Outre Places of Washington, DC; (62) Palma de Mallorca, Spain; (63) Poznan, Poland; (64) Saint Lucia; (65) San Marino; (66) Santa Fe, NM; (67) Sardinia, Italy; (68) Sélestat, France; (69) Seville, Spain; (70) Sint Maarten: Dutch & French Overseas; (71) Sintra, Portugal; (72) Socotra Island, Yemen; (73) South Georgia & Sandwich Islands, Britain; (74) St John's: Newfoundland-Labrador, Canada; (75) Strasbourg, France; (76) Svalbard, Norway; (77) The Faroe Islands; (78) The Rabbit Island; (79) The Trulli of Alberobello, Italy; (80) Tristan da Cunha; 81) Via Aurelia; (82) Via Belgica; (83) Via Canalis; (84) Via Claudia Augusta, (85) Via de la Plata, (86) Via Domitia; (87) Via Fossa; (88) Via Hadriana; (89) Via Kolossus; (90) Via Maris; (91) Via Militaris, (92) Via Pontica, (93) Via Schlavonia, and (94) Wissembourg, France.
