Easter Island Day 1

We got on a flight in Santiago around 1030 and four and a half hours later were touching down on Easter Island. The airport immediately reminded me of being back in Hawaii, both the tourists taking pictures and videos of themselves walking off the plane and the landscape.

It was a short ten minute walk to our hostel. It's a nice little place, despite the bathroom being a bit rough. The owner gave us some information and helpful tips for our stay and then we had some time to settle in. I organized some tours for the next couple of days while Allan did admin (I don't know what he missed more during his trek, me or admin 😂).

Around dinner time we went out to check out a grocery store and find something to eat. We went to Club Sandwich. The fajita there was pretty good and the papas club fries. Allan's sandwich was a bit weird though... After dinner we popped into a little market and grabbed a couple beers, Mahina. We took our beers to the end of the pier and watched the sunset. It was very peaceful.

Once the sun went down, we were both hit by exhaustion after a late night and earlyish wake up for the flight. We hit the grocery store for breakfast and lunch tomorrow and headed back. After quick showers, we turned in for the night; Allan even fell asleep before he could even get under the covers.Read more
