On our way to Nasca we stopped at Ica at the Huacachina Oasis. The dunes were massive! Bigger than ones I've seen in U.A.E and Egypt!
After a quick burger we got onto a buggy that took us dune bashing! What a ride!! I thought I screamed a lot until Garth experienced his first big dune!
We did sand boarding too. We started at a 'small' slope...but it was actually huge! Well over 100m!! I wasn't going to do it (as heights aren't my fav thing) but being the last person other than our guide...I did it!!
We progressively went to bigger dunes and Garth and I sat out of those ones. At the last gigantic dune everyone went down and Garth and I got in the buggy to go down to get them, but our guide couldn't start the engine...
...after about 15mins another buggy came to give us a push start. That was most petrifying! A metal vehicle smashing into the back of ours and pushing us off an enormous drop with no engine! Our driver got the engine started again, but we still had to endure the drop!
This delayed us, so we took a quick dip in the oasis (which was warm) and jumped into 2 big American cars and made our way to Nazca!
We certainly have lived today!
