Easter Island Day 6

Today was our last day on the island. We packed up, checked out, and did some last minute souvenir shopping. We finally managed to find a moai that we liked that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I also picked up some earrings. I think it's a very Kaitlyn way of tracking where we've been on this trip.

After our shopping we stopped for a decent coffee at the Polynesian Coffee and Tea. We also stopped for a quick lunch at Club Sandwich before making our way to the airport. The airport was small and chaotic with people and lines everywhere. You couldn't tell who was coming and who was going! Luckily we could skip a couple lines because we didn't have to check a bag and we had electronic tickets. Strangely, they don't care about the size of your liquids here, which we unfortunately found out after we chugged an entire water bottle at the security line.

Allan got lucky and had nobody sitting next to him on the flight. I was not so fortunate and had rather inconsiderate people on all sides, next to me (I was an aisle), behind me, and in front of me. People grabbing my seat and my head at times, elbowing and kneeing me, or constantly bashing their back into the seat making it difficult to eat or watch anything. Very frustrating trip for me in 37C (but certainly not for good luck Chuck over the aisle from me in 37D. Allan always has the good luck!)

Once we landed and had an annoying wait for our late shuttle to the Hilton, we picked up our bags and got an Uber to the hostel. Luckily check in was painless and quick and we went straight to bed, it was about 1am once all was said and done.Read more
