The Nazca Lines






An overnight bus brought us to one of the still unsolved mysteries of South America, The Nazca Lines.




Discovered when some bloke flew over them, nobody is quite sure how, or why these giant pictures where created. A massive tourist attaction, the only way to see the lines is from the air so Jude and I jumped in a plane and had a little look.




It's bizzarre to think why someoone could be bothered to create these pictures. I like to think it was to do with spacemen but who knows.



The Humminigbird is very clear from the air because it is so very big on the ground. Jude was temporarily distracted from these lines by the plastic bag in the seat pocket in front. Deliberatly skipping breakfast meant there where no major problems with any of the 5 passengers onboard. Tight twisty turns and the occasional drop in altitude all added to the experience.
