Farewell to Isla de Pascua

Ahu Ko Te Riku and the Pacific Ocean

I had a little time on my final morning on Easter Island, before I had to be to the airport to fly back to the mainland. I decided to take one final visit to Ahu Ko Te Riku, the moai who's got his eyes.

But first I paid my visit to Ahu Tahai:

Then to the star attraction and his bodyguard in the foreground.

Good-bye Ahu Ko Te Riku, with your Sammy Davis Jr. eyes and stylish topknot.

Side view:

Some wedding photography was happening at the scene.

One last look at Ahu Tahai.

And we will conclude the Easter Island travelogue with this:

Ahu Ko Te Riku, the guest that everyone wants at their wedding. Off to the mainland.
