Nasca

I arrived in Nasca after a 10 hours trip from Arequipa. I checked into a decent hostel at the main plaza. In the morning I arranged a half an hour flight over the geoglyphes. During my apprentiship I once had to lecture about them. Maybe 8 years later I was able to see it by my own eyes. I sort of knew what to expect. In general I think that the figures are smaller than expected. But if you see the surroundings it gets increasingly clear, that you can only enjoy the view if you're in the air. Most of the mountains are to far away to get an acceptable angle. Thats why the question "why" even gets more obvious. But I'm probably not the last guy that scratches his head. Anyway - it was nice to fly in an cessna. You feel much more like sitting in an airplane than in an 747. Especially if you land, and the wheels right beneath you are makin strange noises.
At the moment a little kid harasses me in one minute rythem. Lesson Nr.465 of my live: Don't be nice to kids... because they are not.

I could have guessed that you hate kids.
