Friday 3 September 1999 - Nasca Lines

In the morning we went up to see the Nasca lines (or Nazca lines depending on your preferred spelling) in four seater airplanes. Very impressive, but they seemed smaller than I had expected as we were quite high up.

The Whale:

The "Astronaut", not quite sure what it was meant to be:

The Monkey, on of the best:

The Hummingbird:

The Condor (but the legs look wrong for a condor):

The Spider:

The "Alcatraz" (or funny bird with long zig zag neck):

The viewing tower and the Hands and Tree:

The little plane we went up in:

In the afternoon we took a break to go sand boarding near the oasis of ???????. Several people made the mistake of taking their cameras with them and getting them jammed with sand.

Looking down on the little town round the oasis from the top of the sand dune we went down:

Me with a sand board (and a very sandy face):

Sunset on the drive to Pisco:

In Pisco we all had a group dinner.
