Les lignes de Nasca ... une experience ratee !

The Nasca lines ... a disaster!

OK, OK ...
NASCA. I was sooooo looking forward to this part of the trip!!! Brel had researched it for his project at school, we had seen tons of pictures of these ancient geoglyphs (drawings made in the sand years ago (pre Inca)...

And we came all the way out here to fly over the lines. They are impossible to see from the ground and can only be seen in full from the air. It is of course an expensive tour ($45 USA each for 30 minutes) but it was accounted for in our famous "budget". One of the (many) must sees ...

We got up early and made sure to skip breakfast just in case the little plane ride made our stomachs turn (thanks for the warning Lonely Planet!).

We got into our little plane (4 passengers + the pilot) ...

Brel sat in front as the copilot ...

He was excited. I was so scared ...
Je me demandais pourquoi je fais tant de choses dont j'ai si peur ces jours-ci???
Et si Brel apprecie au moins??????

Et puis j'ai pris mon courage a 2 mains. On a decolle. J'ai essaye de prendre des photos.

L'avion planait a gauche et puis a droite.

Il n'y avait pas d'air. J'ai vu un dessin (a peine) et puis j'ai passe le reste du temps a me concentrer sur ma respiration. Je ne pouvais bouger ma tete ni a gauche, ni a droite tellement je me sentais mal. Je pensais m'evanouir, vomir, mourir ...

Et puis Brel a commence a vomir dans son petit sac... Et je le voyais mais je n'avais aucune force pour l'aider ... et puis il n'a plus lache sa fenetre et il a tout vu.

Et puis il m'a raconte et decrit ce qu'il a vu. Et c'est a travers ses descriptions que j'ai "vu" les lignes de Nasca. Et puis jamais plus je prendrai un petit avion et je m'excuse de ne pas avoir de photos des fameux dessins.

Allez voir sur google LIGNES DE NASCA / NASCA LINES.

Hahaaaa. But it was exciting, non? I'm sure Brel thought it was worth doing, right Brel!
Oh, Patsy, you are courageous!
Lots of love,
