South America
Took a boat trip to Islas Ballestas from Pisco. We saw lots of sea birds, pelicans, sealions, Humbolt penguins and dolphins. The sealions were massive and made so much noise. In the afternoon we did a tour around Paracas National Reserve which had red beaches.
Pisco was very badly damaged in the earthquake last year. 70% of the buildings had fallen down. We were lucky to find somewhere to stay - it seemed like the only building left standing in the street. It was sad to see all the damage. The museum in the National Reserve had to be shut down and also one of the main symbols on the coast, a rock formation called La Catedral, had collapsed.
