Peru & Bolivia, 2011
Took a fast boat out to the Ballestas Islands this morning, stopping to see the candelabra engravings in the mountain side. Arrived at the islands to see thousands of birds, including rare red-footed cormorants. Also saw sea lions and their breeding beach. It felt like we were sailing round some pre-historic islands, with lots of unusual animals- birds were shooting into the water at speed to catch fish and waves were crashing all around us.
There was a small earthquake in Paracas apparently, but we were on the boat at the time so didn't feel it.
