We woke up at 6am as we booked transport to Tongariki to see a sunrise there. Everybody told us that it is the best place for it and it was indeed.
Of course, at 6.50 am, when we arrived, it was really cold. We spent about an hour or more trying to take the best picture.
Around 8 am we walked to the Anakena Beach, about 10 km. On the way, we saw a lot of cows and horses. As we read in the guide on the island there are almost 6000 people, 3000 horses and 3000 cows :)
The first stop was at Papa Vaka where we saw petroglyps. In the tourist information they told us that the best time to see it is just after the sunrise but we were there a little bit later.
Te Pito Kura was the next place we visited.
A ruined platform with Moai figures. Once I saw the place, the first question was whether someone tries to protect it or is it left abandoned. No one could answer as we were alone there.
Nearby, there is a 'magnetic' stone but our batteries are still ok :)
Anakena is a paradise beach where local people are going for picnics. You can find there a platform with Moai wearing Pukao (red topknots).
A really nice place.
On the way back, we found a taxi home saving time,we ate something and walked to the Ahu A Kivi, another platform with 7 Moai in a good condition (restored).
We returned to the camping around 9pm. We were offered a lift by local man so once more we save some time.
It was a very long day.
