Last week we spent 4 days/3nights in Ica with Anna's parents. We stayed at a lovely hotel resort which was great as they were all equipped for kids and Daniel had loads to do. So we loved the warm swimming pools (there were 3!), and Daniel got worn out every day swimming! 
It was also really fascinating seeing Daniel change over the time we were there. First day he did not want to go anywhere near the slide. The second day, he half way up the steps. Third day he went down a couple of times with Mark and by the fourth day it was 'again, again!'.
Daniel was also very scared about going in the little aeroplane (rerun of bike seat episode! See earlier posting!) Anyway, we had paid, so he had to go, and after a few minutes he loved it - he loved being in the sky and finding all the different Nazca lines. (The Nazca Lines are mysterious images in the desert that are about 500 years old which can only be seen from above and no one knows why or how they got there- although there are various theories, including aliens!) 
Listening to the pilot and finding the lines with our map: 
Joel was quite happy to be in the plane and after a while went to sleep!
Here were a couple of the images we saw. They are many metres long, each one. I think we would have enjoyed it more if they hadn't tipped the aeroplane to the left and then the right for each of the 14 images they showed up - it made a very queasy ride and that's all I'm saying!

Ever since, Daniel has been pretending to be the pilot of one of his little planes! Some other photos:
