Nazca II

hey all, sorry about not posting can be hard when we are doing so much.

Day two in Nazca was nice we hung around went on a flight to see the nazca lines. All and all it is neat to see them up close however they are much much smaller than you would expect. we went in a small single engine plane and almost made your stumach turn. ie blow chunks.

That night we had diner with Alex a Quebecer that was at our hostel, and happened to be on the same flight to see the lines. I have noticed that most backpackers are much younger than byron and i. at 7 we went to catch our bus to Cusco. just as we left we checked the tickets and they said 2 pm. woops! At the bus office they looked at our tickets when we plopped them down and said we missed our bus, and said that they were for the day before. double woops! we asked about other busses but they had nothing for two days. Crap!(at this point it looked like we could miss out on machu picchu, for our flight was out of cuzco to lima 4 days later). they said try to check out the other bus depot a block down and we managed to get on one leaving in 20 min.
Yippie!!!!

Wow i have never been on such a swervy bus ride in my life. we were so glad it was night an we were not watching where we were really driving. We did meet up with two dutch girls on the bus that were going our way. we have been hanging with them the last few days. on the bus the kid behind me blew chunks 5 times. i slept 4 hours. the toilet sprayed a mixture of pee and crap on our legs and we could not recline properly (12 hours), the food was okay, it was fun!!

well there are some more details and i don´t have my little note book with me so i will leave it at that. tommorow we make our trip to machu picchu. will not be near a computer the next 3 or 4 days so i hope this satifies everyones curiosity.

personally i think it is wierd that i can write this and email, a half hour bus ride to machu picchu.
