So we’ve missed our flight and we’re stuck in Iceland overnight. At least Iceland Air arranged for us to stay in a hotel.
And then we drove up to this.
Thankfully this is the back side. I was a little worried about how this trip is going.
Nicholas, why are we even here? We should be gaming.
Oh right, you dismantled our computer.
See this was payback. Let’s just turn around while we’re ahead.
We didn’t get to gamble in Vegas and I wanted to try my luck at Blackjack so we stopped in Reno on the way home.
And we booked a hotel that costed $25. That’s right. And it was the best valued hotel of our trip. $25 for a 3.5 star hotel! I loved it. All it needed was free breakfast as part of that price. Oh, and for those annoying smokers to go back to the smoking floor.
I loved it so much we ate our pho takeout in the hotel. Actually we didn’t have a choice it was because all the restaurants were closing but I digress.
Now if only Nicholas remembered to TAKE me to play Blackjack instead of leave me in the room he would have had better luck. Serves him right.
I’m still not sure why airlines ever fly before noon, but at around 6:00 in the morning on Canada Day (I think it was 6:00 because I wasn’t fully conscious), Nicholas rolled me into a bag and we boarded our 8:00am flight for Easter Island.
Despite the early flight time, I arrived in good spirits, though I was mildly bemused and then irritated by the other tourists blocked my path to paradise by posing on the ramp for photos. Of what? The plane? Why?
But my good spirits quickly returned when our hotel, Rapa Nui Orito greeted us at the airport with flower leis.
They made the mistake of putting them on Pokin and Nicholas, and I had to wait for the brief city tour to finish before I could rectify this oversight, but as soon as we got to our rooms I got my leis. 🙂
I got them right where they are supposed to be.
Around my neck.
I climbed a fake tree to show them off. 🙂
The rooms here seem nice. There’s a mini kitchen to make me hot chocolate and a mini fridge to keep my chocolate from melting.
I think I’m going to enjoy this week.
