Thursday 21st October. Huacahina.


Loud music on the bus. 30 degrees C. All the passengers ringing the bells for attention!

Complained to El Jefe on arrival in Ica. Picked up a Taxi driver/guide who took us to our hotel out by the Lagoon in Huacachina.

We bought three tours: a dune buggy ride and dune surf, a trip around three wineries and Jill opted for a boat trip around the Ballestas islands.

The hotel is magnificent. We have a chalet out by the pool.

Breakfast at Cornish Cafe.

Everything centres on the Lagoon. The lagoon is slightly smelly but beautiful.

Dune buggying involves being driven at high speed by a madman up and down sand dunes; lots of screaming and bashing of head on the roof as we bounce over dunes. Then the dune boarding!

Basically, sliding down a bloody huge sand dune on a plank! very exhilarating! We boarded down four progressively higher dunes.

Sat on top of the dunes and watched the sunset.

A walk in the evening and dinner. It's very quiet here!
