Good things can come from bad things

This morning I woke up with the thought on my mind, why not go back to Rapa Nui? At least we could eat all that food we stocked up for our road trip! So we went to the LAN office to check flights & we were in luck, we found a cheaper flight than last time and we can stay till 1st of June :-) the only thing was, that it was leaving THIS afternoon... so Damien got the tickets, I ran back to the hostel to pack, we jumped in a taxi, took the bus from Valparaiso busterminal, got off in Santiago and took a transfer to the airport :-) here we are! The lady at the check in was super nice, she let us get away with more weight... Damiens backpack was 30kg plus a second bag of 5kg, my backpack was 20kg plus a second bag with 9kg (it was so heavy beause of the food...) we would have been allowed 30kg each, so that was really nice of her.
We are really looking forward to stay on the island again and hopefully we can put the bad experience behind...

Sad face

I think this describes our feeling pretty good at the moment. I was actually working on a blogpost about our wonderful trip we had to Rapa Nui, when we found out that our car had been stolen...
Obviously our road trip trough South America will not happen now and we need to figure out how we want to go about it. All we didn't want to do was to take the tourist trips with busses, but the way it looks we have no other choice to do it like that...
On the bright side, me and Damien are safe & sound and that's what counts!
