... We stopped and had Flan..meh..Mike ate mine too..Its like Peruvian pudding.

I (Cathie) wasnt really huge on taking a 4 seater plane...They lines are incredible perfectly symetrical and only 5cm deep. There is a weird wind ...

... weird as there was a reallly weird feelig around the place like we shouldnt be there ! The remains are really impressive because on some of the mummies you can actually still see the hair and in some cases the skin of the person.

Next on the tour the traditonal pottery making. They showed us how pottery was made by the Nasca and how they created a shine on the pottery by rubbing a hard smooth stone on to the oily areas of the face and then rubbing it ...
