The thrill rides continue
If you think that “El Bus” in Quito is terrifying you should try “El Taxi” in Lima. This adventure entails cramming four passengers into an old, yellow VW Beetle and then hurtling through the traffic until you get a flat tyre on a three lane underpass. The real twist is when you have to assist with the changing of the tyre and realise that none of the tyres have any tread at all!
But the ultimate stomach turner is the flight in a light aircraft we took to see the amazing Nazca Lines. Such is the notoriety of this trip that you are given souvenir sick bags as you board the plane printed with a map of the desert so you can mark on where you were sick! Fortunately we managed to hold on to our breakfasts although the same could not be said for our fellow passengers. We didn´t see any UFOs either.
The mysterious humming bird…..

I’ve seen these mysterious lines on TV. and they’ve always intrigued me. I’ve always wondered just how big the patterns are!
Hey Guys,
Just a quick note to say hi, looks like you are having a great time. By the end you will either be thrill junkies or nervous wrecks too afraid to camp in the back garden.
Keep the blogs coming, it makes us poor schmucks back home working hard for a living smile now and then.
Have a great time, missing you loads, take care of each other.
Love Becky & John
Ah, the Nazca Lines – proof that
a) God exists, and
b) he’s got an Etch-A-Sketch 🙂
I’m uber-jealous – I’ve always wanted to see these. Hopefully you took many, many photos 🙂
I agree with Captain Loud!
God has an Etcha-Sketch!
Tina and I are jealous… Your trip look great!
PS We are moving house!
PPS Your things will be fine. i promise that Tina will not sell them…
