Back at Lima airport for our flight up to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. Over the last couple of days we’ve been on a bus trip driving south along the coastal line. Completely different to Australia with the coast line arid – only gets 10 mil of rain a year.
That afternoon we boarded a smallish airplane (10 pax, 2 pilots and air con so not the worst I’ve been on) for a half hour flight up to the Nazda lines, half hour banking the plane for viewing and then back again. Not a great experience, but could have been worse as one of our group had to resort to the barf bag. The Nazda tribe was a pre Incan civilization who made shapes on the surface of the land by relocating rocks and soil. Many hundreds of years old and no one knows exactly what their purpose was. Preserved because of the arid conditions.
Next morning a boat trip out to some bird shit islands for bird watching and sea lion spotting. Nice and relaxing after the previous day’s flight
