Planes, buggies and night buses

So this is the 2nd time I´ve tried to write this entry, the last time I had nearly finished when the electricity went, it´s now about 4 hours later.
Swopped the cars playing chicken in Lima for a dune buggy in Ica. There´s an oasis 20mins outside Ica which is mad cos it´s surreounded by these massive sand dunes that are great for racing up and down in. Couldn´t drive my own buggy, but the driver in ours was good and we had a great trip. It was quite windy and the buggy was going pretty fast, so I got pretty sand-blasted. Am not necessarily reccomending it as an alternative to spa treatments, but my face is pretty soft and smooth right now!Midway through we got to sand board as well. I didn´t think the knees were up to standing on it, so I went down head first. I went faster and further than everyone, so have decided that when I get back to england I may have a future in skeleton bob as I can definitely go fast...not sure about the steering though and braking was an issue. Probably the best $15 I´ve ever spent. Headed on that night to Nasca and just been up in a plane to see the lines. They were good, a bit tricky to see at the start but once you knew what you were looking for it was pretty good. The plane was really bumpy though and along with the heat made me and most of my group feel pretty ropey and happy to be on the ground again. Later today we´re taking a night bus to Araquipa which will be fun, not expecting much sleep...
