Nasca

Fortunatley David was back with the living as we´d planned a vist iver the Nasca Lines. We first visited a 1000 year old cemetry, here we could see quite a few mummified remains due to the preservation of the desert. Unfortunately most of it was reconstructed as it had been raided by grave robbers, but we got the idea!

Then it was time for what we´d been waiting for! The airport!!! We squeezed into a teeny tiny biplane and chugged down the runway. It was a little wobbly at first but we were soon flying and could see the Nasca desert and surrounding mountains.

We could see lots of lines and patterns on the ground below us and then we started to see more. We spotted the monkey, humming bird and astronaut to name a few. It was quite surreal seeing these huge carvings in the ground below us. By the time the plane landed our stomachs were all over the place but what an experience!

We finished of another busy day by eating raw fish and chilling out beside the pool before catching a night bus to Arequipa....
