When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

I’m really not in the mood to be wiriting at the moment, I have no idea why. However things are moving pretty swiftly along here and I’m going to be laptop less for most of the next week and a bit and so I best get it down now.
So the next day in Pisco was an early start and out to the Ballestas Islands. It was better than I was expecting and the sea was nice and calm so there was no sign of a queasy stomach. There were lots of birds and seals and penguins and some rocks and well that was about that. On the way out though we did see the Candelbra which was pretty impressive. Then it was a small bus ride to an Oasis, an actual desert oasis which was kinda fun but only a few hours was more than enough. Then a short drive onto Nazca where we checked into a lovely hotel and had some dinner and an early night. The next morning was a 45 minute flight over the Nazca Lines which was amazing.
The flight itself was interesting. It was a small 6 seat Cessna and the pilot happily banked from left to right so that everyone in the plane could get a good luck. There was a lot of throwing up throughout the plane. While I wasn’t feeling 100%, I was nothing like that bad and I very much enjoyed the flight. The Lines are breathtaking and I think some of the photos came out alright but as I say lots of things going on and I hugely enjoyed the whole thing.
Then we went off to a local post Nazca, Pre Inca cemetery for an afternoon tour. I wasn’t too impressed but I’ll come back to that one sometime down the line. Then it was an overnight bus to Aquaripi where I am right now. A free day where I wandered around the old convent (yawn), berated the local Irish pub which advertises Guinness but doesn’t actaully have any “Corona instead Mister?” and now it’s dinner this evening and then an overnight trip to the Cocala Canyon. Then we fly to Cusco and it’s Inca Trail time.
So yeah really not in the mood for typing but more sometime down the line.
