Midday at the Oasis

We spent a day at Huacachua. It´s a small oasis in the desert near Ica. It´s how you imagain a story book oasis, a small lake surrounded by date palms, surrounded by giant sand dunes.

People come here to sand board on the dunes. For some reason Gav thought he was snow boarding and insisted on wearing his hat and coat. It was good fun but the sand gets eveywhere, Gav´s ears are still full of sand even after 2 showers.

The bottom pic is of me at lunch at our hotel with a mean parrot that wanted to share my salad.
