After our arrival we had one week to explore the island. On the first evening we saw the american
movie 'Rapa Nui' (thats the local name of the island). That was a perfect start of the week, especially
because we saw the movie at the original location. We explored the island in only 5 days. Good luck
for us, because we had perfect weather conditions. The last two days, it was raining, but we have seen
'everything' before.
Great parts of the island can be explored by foot, starting at the only small town on the island,
Hanga Roa. In 4 days we made about 60 km by foot - don't ask about the feet in the evening.
For making another 80 km and see the rest of the island, we rented a scooter. But suddenly, the
marvelous week was over and had to go back into the winter in Santiago.
From now on everything went on very fast. Another day in Santiago, a good dinner, wash all the
clothes, buy the bus tickets and again to the cinema. The next day we went back to Mendoza. And we
saw that there was almost no snow. So we skipped the skiing trip and bought a onward ticket to
Córdoba for the next day. In Mendoza we went into an already known hotel, had another perfect
dinner and went on to Córdoba.
Córdoba, again, is such a city, which you can skip without missing anything. But because
of a world championship soccer game of Germany and because of the heavy bus trips before we rested
in Córdoba for a few days. By the way: the internet reports are a lot of work to do, too.
But then ... we went on to Buenos Aires. 11 hours in the bus and we arrived in this city, we were
waiting for so many months.
