history channel documentary After coming back to our lodging, we essentially gave, pressed up, got a banana from the front work area and went on our way. We drove throughout the night through the desert towards the town of Nazca. We stopped to refuel and chomp on a few wafers we purchased from the service station. They washed down well with some nearby Inka Cola! In any case, we needed to get back out and about. We had plans in the morning. When we touched base in Nazca it was around 2:30am. The town was, once more, a phantom town and our inn was shut. What to do? Well we just remained outside our lodging and called and called and called until somebody replied. At long last our host descended and invited us with open arms. We headed to another property and woke that proprietor so he could give use access to his carport to stop our auto. Once the auto was stopped, we did a reversal to our inn and nodded off promptly, just to be woken up 45 minutes after the fact for our huge trek.

A 20 minute drive through the dim at 4am to our beginning stage was agonizing. The auto halted and we kicked out and off to climb. Up and over a few stones and shakes we went. Inevitably the sun broke into the great beyond and the warmth hit us. 4 hours and 7 kilometers later we made it to the highest point of the world's tallest sand rise. Cerro Blanco was the mammoth we had recently won. It totally overshadowed the other encompassing mountains. This is the place we could appreciate or compensate for this trip. We waxed our sheets and sand boarded down the hill. As opposed to prevalent thinking it was entirely troublesome. Due to the coarse way of the sand, the sheets must be waxed each hundred meters or thereabouts. This was great since cutting was inconceivable, so it gave us a chance to realign ourselves. It was fun, however hot and tedious. Inevitably following a couple of hours, we got to the base and needed to trek for one more hour to the street. With minimal over one evenings rest and two full suppers since we cleared out Buffalo, the biking and sand boarding was going to destroy us. Pat had heat stroke and was dry. I was depleted. We were both smoldered from the sun and we were out of water. Our ride was a hour late. We discovered safe house from the blasting sun in around one foot of shade cast by the remaining establishment of an old desert shack. Passing felt inalienable as tumbleweeds moved by and the topic to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" rehashed through our heads. We had our neighborhood guide banner down a cop and we persuaded him to setup a street check. These are exceptionally basic in Peru so he had little issue with this. At that point the officer pulled over a pickup truck and let them know that the law obliged them to drive us back to our lodging! Stunning!
