so we have a more relaxing day today with not much travelling. first stop is the airport to get weighed for our flight. we then head out to a ancient burial ground where we see lots of skeletons. our guide is knowledgable though later found to be drunk at 10am. after seeing what seems like to be an endless supply of skeletons we head back to the airport. i am in th first group so off we go to check in. we walk through quite stringent security and arrive at our little 6 seater cesna. our main pilot is columban and seems friendly. the engines start and off we go into the desert to look at the Nazca lines. these lines are 1000s of years old and were drawn for the gods, they cant be seen from the ground so the architects would not see them. our flight is a little bumpy but it twists and turns it way over each shape and drawing. it lasts a half hour before returning us safely to ground. it is only after landing it seems that we were the only flight to have too pilots which was a good. after our flight we get in some random guy´s car to take us to Nazca town. somehow we made as always seems to the case here.
nice lunch in a tourist restaurant where we all ended up seperatly. back to the town later on. after picking our things up from the hotel we went to a chicken restaurant were the portion sizes were AMAZING. after dinner we board our night bus for the next 12 - 14 hours adios
