Wrenching ourselves away from the paradise that was the Paracas Hotel, we launched ourselves into traveller world. A bus ride to Ica followed by the now customary debate (some might say argument) as to whether we should try to bargain another 50p off the price of a taxi, for the principle of the thing as much as the money involved. Ended up crammed into a three-wheeled tuktuk style vehicle that almost took us where we needed to go in Huacachina - a desert oasis surrounded by miles of eye popping sand dunes.

Drained by the heat, we had a lazy lunch, a stroll around the oasis, an ice lolly and a coffee.

Then we were ready. Let the adrenaline rush begin. Our turn to fly, albeit along the sand, praying each other would get to the bottom in one piece.
