Meeting the Moai

This is the only group of moai that
are facing towards the ocean.

Now you can see them from the front.

There are lava tubes from the

extinct volcanoes. This one

reached the sea.

Overlooking the crater of one

volcano - now one of the water

supplies for the island.

These houses were lived in for

about 1 month each year during

the birdman festival used to

select the king.

We spent a day travelling around the western side of the island with a guide. Today we will explore the southern side of the island with the same guide - hope to meet more moai.
