Day 90 February 7th 2007, Highlights of South America - Easter Island to Papeete, Tahiti, 4,020km

As our plane rolled down the longest runway in the Pacific leaving behind one of the remote places in the World I felt a sense of sadness leaving South America but glad to have spent so much time here and seen so many amazing places in Peru, Argentina and Chile. The Air New Zealand plane was pretty old with just one big screen showing our location, a small dot on a blue screen showing again how remote this place is.

It's easy to say what the highlights have been so far but those that really stand out are those we have shared with some great people. So here it is the Adm Filby top 10 list of things to do in South America

  1. Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, Peru
  2. Easter Island, Chile
  3. Torres del Paine, Chile
  4. Cape Horn, Chile
  5. Iguassu Falls, Argentina
  6. Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina
  7. La China Estancia, Argentina
  8. Horse riding in Concon, Chile
  9. Dune buggy riding in Nasca, Peru
  10. Whale Watching in Peninsula Valdes, Argentina

Todays Highlight: Catching up on some sleep during our 7 hour flight
