Well, we made it across another border, this time no one thought we were drug traffickers or illegal immigrants. We went to the southern Peruvian city of Arequipa that is surrounded by beautiful peaks of the Andes. The weather is warmer as we are entering spring, and it is good to see the sun after the freezing cold of Bolivia and the Chilean coast.
After Arequipa, we made it to Nazca and we... flew! in a tiny little plane, over the Nazca Lines. They are shapes made in the desert by ancient people. Some people claim they were made by aliens, but that is a pretty ridiculous theory. The huge shapes form animals and humans when viewed from the air... so there are a billion tourist angencies selling 30 minute flights in tiny bouncy planes to see the lines in the desert. You have to wait in the airport because they organize the flights according to weight, so two little people like us were balanced out by two big heavy people.
Now we are on to our last adventure, climbing Cerro Blanco, supposedly the highest sand dune in the world, where we will camp, and then SANDBOARD miles down to the bottom. We are leaving in two hours.
Then it´s on to boring dreary Lima, and the long ride to Ecuador, which we should reach by the weekend. The grand adventures coming to an end...
