Peru - Nazca lines

We arrived in Lima late after taking 2 hours to get through customs! We only had time for a few hours sleep before catching an early morning bus to Nazca. The town is famous for the Nazca lines which are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of Peru. They have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometres between the towns of Nazca and Palpa. Scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture nearly a millennium ago, between 200 BCE and 700 CE. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, llamas, and lizards. The only way to see them is from the air so we arranged to go up in a small plane overlooking the lines. We had an hour to kill before hand so we went in search of a restaurant. We ended up eating a mountain of food and then proceeded to get in a very small plane. I´m used to small planes but nothing I´ve experienced in a ´Joey´ was anything like this! I have never felt so sick. Tommy went a very yellow colour and I thought I was going to be sick. The views were incredible but we spent the whole 30min flight trying to keep our food down! There is nothing much else to do in Nazca so we decided to leave that night on a night bus to Arequipa.
