Today i took the mountain bike and drove along the southern coast of the island before i headed north to explore Puna Pau, the quarry where they made the Pukao's or head knots for the Moai statues. After a beautiful sunset sitting by those giants the evening got even better with great news about the successful landing of Mars rover "Curiosity". What a day! :)
Heute nahm ich mir ein Mountainbike und fuhr die Suedkueste entlang bevor es in Richtung Norden zum Steinbruch von Puna Pau ging, wo man die Pukao's oder Huete fuer die Moai's anfertigte
. Nach einem Bilderbuch-Sonnenuntergang bei den Statuen von Tahai war der Abend dann perfekt, als die Neuigkeit eintraf, dass der Rover "Curiosity" erfolgreich auf dem Mars gelandet sei. Was fuer ein Tag! :)
