And another time this bear takes sunset photos.

I want a better bear cave than this
While we were waiting for the sun to set at Anakena (of course we were waiting for the sunset, thanks to Pokin and her want of sunset taking pictures ways), we strolled along the coast to check out more sea caves.
I have previously gone on record to say the way Nicholas wants a man-gaming-cave, I want a bear-gaming cave.
Let me now go on record that my bear-cave shan’t look like this.
It better be warm, comfortable, plush, and fully stocked with chocolate.
Nicholas did you take note?
Onward to Anakena
Proud renters of a 4WD in paw and hand, we fetched Pokin and made our way towards Anakena, one of the only 2 white coral sand beaches on the entire island.
Not only were there beaches, there were also two Ahu (stone platforms on which the Moai rest.)
According to Wikipedia, the significance of Anakena is that it was the landing place of Hotu Matu’a, the Polynesian chief who led the original two-canoe settlement party to this island.
Makes sense to land here. I would not be a fan of landing on any other part of this rocky volcanic island!
