Easter Island By Bike Part I

Hola todos,

On Sunday, The Brits: Andy, Andy and John, Mariska and I went to go rent bikes to do a half day loop.
We ate breakfast and then went to the bike place. I rented a bike for four days and John and Mariska rented bikes. Andy and Andy decided to rent a quad though because they were planning to go to the east side of the island at dawn to see the sun rise, which is a popular thing to do. (You see the sun rising behind the 15 moai. I didn't have much a urge to do it though.) Therefore, we took the loop by bike and they took it by quad. However, we thought the quad couldn't go on any further after a certain point so they headed back (we actually had just made a wrong turn). We continued on and saw some moai and several caves (which is Rapa Nui is Ana, so I was then called cave woman). It was so beautiful! The water was a deep blue, to think that the closest land was thousands of miles from the island. We made it to the port and watched the sunset. It was absolutely beautiful!
We returned to the hostel that night sore from the uncomfortable bikes and then the Brits and I went out for dinner to a place and ordered lots of food. I of course, had ceviche again. Since it was Mariska's last night, we went out for a few drinks. It was a tranquil night.
