I said I would do odd snippets of Peru from time to time.
So the Nasca Lines are amazing shapes etched in the desert of Southern Peru. There are over 300 figures with names covering an area of close to a 1,00 square kilometres. You can only really see them from above and these shapes were made about 2,500 years ago -there are many theories to why they were made but my blog isn’t really the place! Were they made for visitors from an other world? The picture above isn’t mine it is of the Spider (I did take some through the plane window but they were not great-one below.) It was quite an adventure flying in the small plane pictured below-this was before the flight, while we were still a normal colour! The pilots in a past life were often drug smugglers and used to flying in remote spots, good that they have good employment now taking tourists up!
Once we were up in the air it was amazing taking in the views with our pilot saying “On the left -spider, on the right astronaut…. etc” He would bank the aircraft to help us see out of the windows which was an interesting experience (hence why the picture below is before!)! It was strange to see vultures flying below us looking very small!
