    August 24, 2023 in Chile ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Today first in English and very first an excuse from me for my mishandling the language .
    There are many faults and the self correction brings out silly things. Sorry, it will not change. Truus gives me hell about this, I get used to it.

    Now you have to know about Easter Island:

    Size Easter island 160 km2
    Size town of Toronto 630 km2

    In former times only women could own land!!

    Easter island was discover by a Dutch sailor 17hundert and something on Easter Sunday
    That is why the name

    How it got to Chile?
    It was no one’s land till 1870, the the grand Republik France was showing interest to invade.
    The empire was afraid to loose interest in the pacific and told their alliac Chile to take care about this, and the did.

    Till 2002 only origins could Buy land, now it is allowed to Chilean citizen

    We were wondering
    About the long and excellent done runway at the airport.
    It was done by the nasa as and emergency landing strip for a space shuttle

    Easter island is rich in ….
    Potholes in the roads, we didn’t count them, it must be a million!
    Driving here is a good training for slalom skiing
    The only good road on the island was built by the US from the Harbour to the airport for transportation of material.

    Except the wonderful and mysterious Stone figures is not much to see an do, we had wonderful days and will leave tomorrow.
    Some fotos of the day and from dinner at sunset!
