Peru 7: Nazca

In Nazca we did the tourist thing: visited tombs containing mummified remains from 500AD, then took a flight over the famous and mysterious 'Nazca lines': ancient huge geometric markings and animal shapes on the desert floor. The flight was a bit sick-making, but Adam admirably managed to keep his breakfast down (although he lost about a litre of sweat in the process). Flavio, however, was not so lucky, and had a short conversation with Hughie into the paper bag thoughtfully provided by the pilot.
