Eater Island is an option I have looked at, but it seems tricky to get from Easter Island to NZ, so in order to pay it a visit it seems necessary to go back to SCL. It does seem tempting though.

This is a good idea. We have planned driving up to the Gold Coast along the Pacific Highway and back to Sydney on the New England Highway. This is something we've planned to do in total in 10 days, it may involve too much driving. Will consider your idea of flying elsewhere in Oz instead.

Surprising and interesting to hear. I thought it would be the opposite. We have planned spending more time in PEK than HKG, maybe we should reconsider. I have also heard good things about Xian from other sources.

Maybe we should skip JNB completely. Heard numerous crime related warnings about JNB. I wish we could fly directly to CPT from Asia.
