Nazca Lines!!

We were indeed following just a day behind Barb, Jon and Ave. We saw the Poor Man´s Galapagos, and as Barb said, it was great. There were hundreds of thousands of birds and thousands of sea lions, you could see them popping up everywhere in the water, it was amazing!
We were planning on heading back to Lima Oct 3 and having a day in Lima to check out a few museums, but on the way to book our bus ticket, we saw a few pictures of the Nazca lines which are located about 3 hrs away from Pisco. We´d heard the flights to see them (they can really only be seen from the air) were over $100 so we´d never considered going, but we found out that they were being offered for the low, low price of $40. We decided to head on over and it was well worth it. The lines were amazing, as clear as the pictures. We flew in a little 5 person cesna. We´d cruise around the lines in tight circles until everyone had had a good view (and I wasn´t even sick!). Anyway, well worth the time and the money (what made it even better was that you could take these old American cars from the ´60s as cabs from Nazca to Ica, about 2 hrs. We fit 6 people, plus the driver, very comfortably - sweet ride).
