We did not take scooters, surely doable, but we decided for a small open top SUV. In August weather was really unpredictable, warm, but not too warm, windy, rain came several times as a shower and sun came out minutes later.
This is the crater lake. This is where I imagine rapamycin was found (from description in papers) and it is truly the most magical part of the island. No statues around, but this is where ancient islanders lived.

Not yet. We are just thinking about it. I would love to cruise there, but my understanding is that that is iffy–you can get all the way there, encounter bad weather, and then you are unable to go ashore.
And another thing I bet you didn’t know… you can buy (in Costco Taiwan it seems) some pretty large Moai statues! I love these things… this is what we should send to Richard Miller and his team as a gift
! Any plans, yet?
