... te doen. <br><br>Toedels!<br><br><br><br>English version<br><br>Hola desde Nazca!<br><br>After our sandboard-adventure in Huacachina, we took the bus to Nazca which took about 2 hours. Once we were there and tried to get off the bus we were immediatly harrased by several men trying to make us stay in their hostal. As we are already travelling for some time now we wanted to take a little break to relax and enjoy a little bit more comfort. Across the bus ...

... hit him. Thats the type of violence that we were combatting in the volunteer campaign really. Well that and sexual violence that has just become exposed into the public. Much like how it is in the USA actually. Nobody knows the extent to which incest really happens. And people in Peru think that it only happens there. But when I told them that I had clients that were abused by stepfathers, cousins, older brothers, stepbrothers, brothers, fathers, they were ...

... Inca ruled from the present day Columbia and Ecuador in the north to central Chile<br> in the south. The Inca lands were the equivalent of a European empire extending from the coldest of Norway to the mountains of north-west Africa.<br> </li><li>Inca roads stretched over 23,000km &#8211; long enough to cross Asia at its largest width.<br> This was to eventually aid the Spanish in conquering the Incas.<br> </li><li>Cuzco was the Inca capital.<br> </li ...

... through a tiny alleyway in central london in a monster truck. And I`d almost forgot about the lines!<br><br>At 7am I cracked my knee joints and stretched like a wild cat, before walking across the road to the Alegria travel agency to book our flight over the infamous Nazca lines. We were both shattered from the night bus and skipped breakfast to avoid redecorating the plane cabin and our fellow passengers laps with regurgitated avocado and bread ...

... on our balcony with a G+T, followed by our best chicken and chips yet. Philistines. Genius.<br><br>The next morning we flew over the nazca lines. Poverty travellers can climb two flights of stairs to stare into the desert and see nothing, but as we have been paying taxes for a few years now and are only semi slumming it, we went first class and excessively paid for a rickety plane and vomit bags. A slight concern arose when we saw our seatbelts being ...

Ola!!!<br> I had a really good nights sleep for a change, hopefully the tummy troubles are behind me... really wanted to be fit and healthy for today as it´s one of the major highlights of our tour, a flight over the Nasca Lines.<br> After a small breakfast, which was recommended by the tour guide!!! We head off to Nasca airport and see our plane for the first time... a tiny little 5 seater Cesna, I think this ...

... can be no doubt that the lines are Nasca&#8217;s equivalent of crop circles. The locals were having a jolly jape. A very effective one, for it turned Nasca, a town with nothing to offer, into a growing conurbation with tarmac roads, schools and a hospital. Desperate academics looking for a cause could not wait to tell the world how they had discovered something remarkable. Fools, all of them.<br><br>There is very little going for Nasca, starting with being woken by a ...

... here is to see the famous Nasca Lines. We accomplished this mission within 4 hours of arriving! Our hostel dudes father was (conveniently) a pilot and he (conveniently) had only 2 places left (there are 3 seats per flight) on the 11am flight. So used to getting taken advantage of we decide that its a good enough deal and sign up. <br><br>At the little local airport its tourist mecca with flights leaving regularly and of course a gift shop on the way out! The hostal dudes ...

... their mysterious lines on the ground. I admire some of the lines from a metal tower, as I chicken out about flying the funny little aircraft they have there. <br><br>The Nasca lines are still a mystery, and many people are dying to sort it out. For example, a German scientist Maria Reiche spent her whole life living near Nasca and examining the lines. She even came up with some really brilliant ...
