In another island, Ilha Grande! It's gorgeous here! Walked on the beach in Rio this morning for a bit before getting the bus to take us to the boat to Ilha Grande. The bus was supposed to come and pick me up between 10.30-11am but because the traffic was so bad it didn't arrive until after 11.30am. Then we went to pick up a girl and couldn't find her so we wasted about 30 minutes while the driver was looking for her and finally found her! It took about 2 hours ...

In Rio! It's great here, not as bad as people make it out to be! Was so nice waking up in a massive room! Sad to say goodbye to this luxury :( Will be back in Chile next month to visit San Pedro de Atacama on the way up to Bolivia and Santiago again just before I get my flight to New Zealand as I have 10 hours to spare! Checked in, went to immigration to get stamped out. Turns out that the person who stamped me in forgot to give me back the exit paper! But lu...

Back on the mainland now! Woke up to loads of mosquito bites! :( and I remembered to use the spray last night for the first time in ages and I get lots of bites, typical! Lol!

When I got dropped off I got given a Moai necklace, bless them. Waited for ages to board the plane, the flight was delayed e...

Another interesting day! Back to Santiago tomorrow for the night. 3 nights is enough here, any longer and I'd probably get bored! They arrived on time this morning. Yay! Had mostly the same people as yesterday, a few new faces. A different guide this time. A lot easier to understand too! Went to Ana Kai Tangata, a cave with paintings. It has mostly worn away over the years. Headed to Orongo. Before going up, I managed to get a ticket which I was meant to get ...

What an interesting day! Had the best night's sleep in ages, the bed was so so comfortable! I look forward to sleeping here for 2 more nights! Breakfast was the best I've had in ages too! Finally they had some decent cereal! Have really missed having cereal. Going to make the most of it while I can! Was ready before 9am to be picked up for the full day tour. Waited for ages, and they still hadn't turned up by half 9! Was getting worried so asked reception to ...
