We had a run of 450km through the desert to Lima today but before we got going we chartered a small 4 seater Cessna to take us up to see the famous lines of Nazca<\/a> which was incredible. We were flying at about 1000m off the ground which gave us beautiful and full views of the shapes and although getting pics out of the window of the small plane was challenging, we managed a few decent ones.<\/p>\n

The ride from Nazca to Lima is pure desert! Hot, dry, boring and congested with trucks until the last 200km which is a double carriage way into the Capital City. Lima is beautiful, cosmopolitan and vibrant with awesome restaurants and hotels. We are spending the next 3 nights at the Marriott right on the coast and dinner tonight was at the Chefs table at the world famous \u201cCentral<\/a>\u201d which was incredible, but rich doesn\u2019t begin to describe the food!<\/p>\n
