Isla de Pascua

Day 6, Part 2 Wed. June 13 Easter Island Full day tour. . ….
Next we visited Ahu Tongariki, the largest ahu (platform) of the 15 Moais on the island; they weigh an average of 50 tons and were destroyed by a tidal wave in 1960. Note: Japan felt bad for Rapa Nui because it was “their” tidal wave that they helped restore the Moai here. You can see that one of them has the red topknot. The monument has a sense of harmony and balance. (BTW: did not see many pets on the island. This was the only cat)
