Got alarm call at 4.45 but snoozed a little and got up at 5.20 leaving us 10 minutes to get ready before being picked up. Actually got into the proper departure lounge instead of the marquee today and got our flight to Rio De Janeiro to be told that we were flying into Sao Paulo first and would need to reboard the same plane eh ???? While on the plane, Rose thought that she recognised the members of A HA and it was actually them and when we landed she ran over ...

Got up this morning at 5 a bit delicate, to go and see the sunrise over the 15 Moai statues. It was definately worth seeing. Came back to the hotel to check out of our room by 10, and on the stroke of 10, they rang our room to remind us.

Got to hotel, room lovely, just slight earthquake damage, had a lov...

When we got up this morning, we decided to be bad and not go our pre-organised full day excersion, we just needed some chill time. Breakfast a success, dinner a failure, so nothing new for us then.

I know it's hard to believe that Jackie ate salad, so I took as photo to prove it. After as ...

Went for breakfast, which was a success for a change and got ready for our...

Breakfast , don't really want to break a tradition so we had omlete with potataoes, leeks and Jackie even had carrot - yep you guessed it, it was an aeroplane meal. We landed at Santiago airport and it took us 30 minutes to get off the plane, as they were only letting 50 off at a time. It was still dark and we just saw a mass of cases strewn on the runway, surely these weren't ours - wrong. We had to rummage through the pile to find our cases. Then proceeded to...
