Peru – July 16
After a relatively sleepless night, we get up very early in
order to make our bus to Nazca. We have
booked with the company that has the “yacht” of buses…..fulling reclining seats
with foot rests, wifi on board, movies on the screen and breakfast and lunch
service all for the incredible price of $35 per ticket for a nine hour ride. Looks like I have finally unlocked the
secret of budget travel in Peru J The trick is to bypass all the middle men and
go directly to the bus station to purchase from the source. A little online research will show you which
companies go the route you wish and generally all of the towns we have visited
have a central bus station…..just an FYI in case anyone plans to travel
independently in South America.
As you can imagine, the majority of the day was spent on the
bus described above so not a whole lot to report. Upon our arrival, we were met at the station
by Luis, the son of the hotel owner who whisked us the few blocks to our hotel
for the next two nights. A very new
place that seems only partially inhabited.
We settle in and then walk to the “Boulevard” ….the heart of Nazca where
the restaurants and shops were still lively at 9pm. Dinner was typical fare and home to watch…….you
guessed it, “The Big Bang Theory”. Tomorrow we will take flight……..(cliff-hanger)
