We woke up in aussieland\u00a0to a rainy, foggy\u00a0day today.\u00a0 After two days of intense sightseeing, and hiking, \u00a0we decided that we should slow down and relax a bit.\u00a0\u00a0On that note, David decided to check our upcoming flights and discovered that we had a major Easter Island flight problem.\u00a0 Fortunately, all of the hotel and other flights within South America were ok and we were able to change the Easter Island flights – that is the 3rd time that we have had issues with those flights.. The interesting issue is that we had previously checked and rechecked numerous times the dates to ensure flight dates\u00a0and hotel\u00a0reservations were in sync\u00a0with each other.\u00a0 To our chagrin today, they were not.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0was a very tense 2 hours as we figured out the issue.\u00a0 Thank\u00a0 goodness it rained today;\u00a0as, \u00a0we\u00a0 probably would have not uncovered being one day off on our flight to Easter Island this Sunday.\u00a0 Actually, with so many flights and hotel reservations on this trip, we are\u00a0quite relieved\u00a0that things have been so smooth so far .\u00a0 .\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

After our (almost)\u00a0big\u00a0 panic attack, the rains had lifted and we decided to venture out to Paddy’s Market.\u00a0 It is Sydney’s biggest market with over 1,000 stalls of food, clothing, electronics, etc.\u00a0 We decided to dine-in and\u00a0bought some fresh tuna from the seafood vendor at Paddy’s. \u00a0We both agreed that it was the best tuna that we have ever eaten.\u00a0\u00a0The tuna\u00a0melted in our mouths and was utterly delicious.\u00a0 What a thoroughly enjoyable treat with a bottle of wine\u00a0after such a fretful day!<\/p>\n

On Thursday, we tramped all\u00a0around Sydney for 4 hours before packing for our 12 1\/2 hour flight to Santiago on Friday.\u00a0 On Monday , we will be leaving Santiago and will be off for a\u00a05 hour flight\u00a0to the\u00a0UNESCO World Heritage Site\u00a0of\u00a0Easter Island for 3 days.\u00a0 \u00a0Below are some of the highlights of\u00a0our beautiful harbor city walk today.<\/p>\n
