Cool boats for fishing sardines/anchovies!
The dunes along the coast have a lot of iron in them, hence the red color...
There were 2 types of Cormorant, Humboldt Penguins, Pelicans, Blue Footed Boobies, and Sea Lions (not a bird but still found on the islands) Took a boat around the islands, took tonnes of pictures, was a little frightened by the sounds emanating from the sea lion beach (they make awful strange noises). Had some delicious fish for lunch (ahh the pleasures of being near the ocean!) before heading back to Huacachina.
Penguins!!
Sea Lions!
And then back on the beach after the tour... Pelicans!
17.5 hour bus ride back that evening. That was it's own adventure... Something I ate on the bus didn't agree with me. Hadn't gone away by the next morning, so I went to a Travel Clinic, only to discover I had an amoeba & salmonella. Proceeded to spend the next 2 nights in a Travel Clinic with an IV in my arm. le sigh. I'm happy to report I'm feeling MUCH better now.
AND! Go check out my flickr for more images that didn't find space in my blog!
