Early in the morning, boat tour to Islas Ballestas, a very nice birds sanctuary. Seen many birds, including the Inca Tern, Peruvian Pelican (Pelecanus Thagus), Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura), Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus Humboldti), black cormorants, Guanay Cormorants (Phalacrocorax bougainvillii), Peruvian booby (Sula variegata). But also a lot of seals and sea lions.

Hanging out with the Pelicans after the boat tour.

 

Later on, a 30 km bike tour in Paracas. It started on a very strong wind, while I was on the coast admiring the kite surfers. Once I reach the street it gets a little bit easier. I stop to visit the museum and they told me I should’ve gone on the street and pay a tax to visit the reserve. Had lunch at Lagunillas, than back I had to look for the lock that was somehow lost.

I find it also due to the GPS (I could follow the exact same path through the desert). The front wheel makes an unpleasant noise from the sand. Stopped, cleaned it, all OK. Stayed in the same hostal/hostel, too late to leave at 6 p.m. The place is nice and cosy, but already I feel I’m getting a little bit lazy.

My intention is to leave very early in the morning the day after.
