Easter Island or Rapa Nui (map) was the last country/territory I visited on my Pacific Islands trip. My visit was from the 9th to the 23th of March 2001. I visited the island together with my Dad, who travelled with me back to the Netherlands from Fiji. We only stayed at Ana Rapu Guesthouse. We visited many of the archeological sites around the island. (read more...)
