day 03 - Nasca

And there we go for the lines ... no breakfast recommended ... and even then I nearly trew up !

The plane goes first 90degrees left so the people one side can take pictures, then turn completely to 90 degrees the others side for the people on that side. We didn't do this one time but for nearly each figure ... nevertheless a breathtaking experience to see those lines ... increadible that they are about 2000 years old and still there ! Here are some of them ... of course it is very difficult to take a picture of them!

A view of Nasca village from the plane ...

After a late breakfast I went at the and of the morning to the museo Antonini with a very detailed description of the Nasca-culture with beatiful displays and even textile ...

As it is hot during the day over here I went to my room for a rest and in the late afternoon I went on foot (only 1 km from the hotel) to an archiological site ... here are some pic's As you see there is not much left but you have to take in mind that this is what they call ADOBE (which mean clay) and the nature does the erosion ...

I was all alone and I had a special encounter ...

I think it is a kind of falcon ... there where 2, but one flew away when I approached.

(latest news ... following bart's information these are burrowing owls)

At the top of course a beautifull view on the region ...

Now after this writing ... a pisco-sour and dinner and tomorrow bus at 11:30 for Arequipa !
