The locals are tanned skin, let me good health admiration. Short street, hotel, restaurant, shop, and soon to the head. Turned the corner to the far side of the sea, and saw a very nostalgic yellow buses, so some uncertain at the moment.Waves in Black Rock, great sound issued from time to time, is becoming increasingly fierce, the Sun makes my Flash some dizziness.
At this time, I saw the MOAI (comoe stone). This is what I see for the first group, the local people call the stone MOAI. Many years ago, I saw in magazines such scenes, astonished. Just then I never dreamed that one day, you can think of it. Sunset, although the thick clouds, but the Sun or in the fall to vanity and some before, so that orders the 5 add many vivid MOAI statues. I watched the sunset of the West, the vast Pacific Ocean, to the West, North, West, East, far away from home.

In I have ever seen, this is the MOAI is the most special one. The vast majority of MOAI, the face is long, but this looks good, the square. Although it is a stand alone, but face South and back north, a pair of spirit reigns. At this time, four miles quietly so that even the wind seems to have temporarily stalled. It must be acknowledged that Flash does have a unique power to shock me. Let me not to describe. Sunset, not distant 7 statue in the Sun reflects a pair of moving pictures.Most impressive: this is a magical place on the last day of the morning, more than half an hour to the Northeast at the foot of the island.
