Every day, we made sure to have our lunch first before setting out for the day around Rapa Nui, as you can only find food near the little town of Hanga Roa. So if you intend to set off for the day in the morning before lunch, pack some sandwiches and water with you. One of our favorite driving routes is the paved road along one of the sides of the island where we could drive along the Pacific ocean. Although there were hardly any cars on the road, we drove slowly in the countryside. You never know when the horses or cows are crossing the road unattended!
