Nasca to Lima
5am start and soon to one of the best days of our trip. Sand bugging and boarding and then Nature wathcing at the Bailliste Islands (not sure on that name).
To my disapointment of not getting a more customized session of a smaller vehicle the sand buggy come in sizes of five and nine seaters but after taking the first drop in the very back of the nine seater I was happy to enjoy what seemed more like a roller coaster then and motorized ride I had been on. Anique of Dutch descent could not stop laughing most of the trip and every bump sen her into a renewed fit of hysterics. Sand board was fun but quite difficult to get a consitant feel of the terrain as the wax wore off it was almost impossible to maintain speed. Maybe a straight line is the best option so long as the friction of a wax less board dosnt kick in like it did on Erichs first try. I wipped out evry time down thouroughly absorbing sanding into my hair and powdering my skin. Infact later that night by shaking my head I could produce a visible shower of sand.
Probably the funnest misplaced breakfast experince happened to Erich Tess and Louise who order Tea con Letche (tea with milk) well they got the milk part a steaming mug of it each with the tea bag on the side. Erich determined to enjoy his tea took multiple tea bags squeezing as much essesence from each as possible.
Bailliste Islands(¨poor mans galopagos¨) had an assortment of pelicans boobies and seals. Boobies are sweet birds they will fly up to 40 feet in the air and then tuck thier wings in and dive bomb into the water for fish emerging into the sky seconds later. The seals were pretty lazey an mostly basked in the afternoon sun on clumps of rocks. A few fights over territory were had but didn´t last too long as an concerted efforts seemed to be a waste of energy.
