3rd day pisco winery and sand buggies and finally nasca

Yesterday was such a fun day..we got up quite early (me jess and lindsay) to walk into town have a look around and maybe get sm fruit or smthing before heading off to the pisco winery. We walked around and bought some water and 2 mangos which we shared at the hostel. Pisco is a lovely little town (very smaaaalll) and we literally walked aorunf the centre in about 1 minute but its really sweet and it was nice to walk along the beach. Anyway we got into a private bus (verrrryy pooosh) that took us to the winery where they make PISCO!! (the south american brandy I have already mentioned). where we were shown how it is made and then we got to try all the different piscos...we had about 8 2 of which were 48 percent SOOO STRONG. me Lindsay and Jess were struggling a little and had to keep drinking water...daniel got us a small chocolate aswell to soak up the alcohol. some were good though...one was an already made pisco sour, the next was a sweet sort of wine and then different types of pisco and then some sort of south american baileys...ODD. then we also tried several types of jam which were quite nice. After that we got back into our bus and drove to an oasis in the middle of the dessert which was BEAUTIFUL (the story of the oasis is that a beautiful girl was running around  with a mirror and a hunter mistook her for a deer and started shooting at her..she ran away and fell from a sand dune and her mirror broke and turned into water so she could hide in it..and she became a mermaid BEAUTIFUL RIIIIGHT?) haha. Anyways it was very very very odd to see huge hugeeeeee sand dunes and then a lush green little patch...the sand dunes were amazing like beaing in a film.- We had some lunch there and then went to get in the sand buggies (massive carts) us girlies sat in the back the bumpiest part and literally it was INSANE. we went down and up sososo fast I have never screamed that much before haha!!! it was so much fun and sooo beautiful we were sorrounded by sand dunes and the view was incredible, we stopped to get a few pictures and some other people did sand boarding but it wasnt standing up it was head first with your body on the board...Most of us were not extremely up for it though because the sand dunes were sooooo high. We went back to the oasis after and had a swim in the pool...then got in the bus and left for nasca..where the nasca lines are. The view getting to nasca was insane and thank god we made it to the tower for the nasca lines before dark. Unfortunately we couldn't see them very well..and even though we had an ption today to take a flight round i was not really willing to pay 86 dollars...anyway we got to the hotel a 3 star hotel in the middle of nowehere (nasca is a bit crap) full of bugs..yum. haha i had a beatle in my room and screamed...but its fine the man who carried my bags (oooh yes) picked it up while laughing at me haha he actually came towards me holding it out and laughed even more as i ran away hahaha. bastard. We all met up for dinner in  the hotel and i just had a small sandwich shared with lindsay and some chips shared with all 3 of us cos i wasnt very hungry. Then we hung around all craving some chocolate and ice creams (we all got a little bit desperate it was very funny) after seeing the ice cream machine and the little cabinet with oreos and snickers...but apparentely the hotel had lost both keys...we got so desperate we ended up having a hot chocolate. THE MOST disguuusting hot chocolate i have had in my whole entire liiiife. it tasted of milk with cinnamon but gone bad it was awfffful...Lindsay got really excited when she discovered a stick which she thought was a cadburys flake but no....it was a cinnamon stick ahaha. After that we all went to bed....
