We both passed out on the bus, and since we took a little earlier bus than we were originally planning. we arrived in Nazca at 4am instead of the 6:30. It makes a huge difference when you don´t have the slightest clue where you are or what to do until 11pm that night.
So the conductor woke us up and told us that we were arriving in Nazca, and strangely enough, we were the only people to get off the bus. And thank god that it was a private, gated terminal because it was a bit sketchy out. We stood inside the bus station for a few minutes trying to figure out what to do next with our lives. We looked up in our Bible (the guide book) and found a reasonably priced hostel that was close by. So we caught a taxi, checked into the hostel and promptly fell asleep.
We did much of nothing for the rest of the day other than walk around the town and grab some lunch.
At around 8pm, we headed back to the bus station to make sure everything was set for our 11:30 pm departure. We checked out backpacks at the station and went across the street to Rico Pollo for dinner. We ordered a whole chicken to split, and for $10 total, we didn’t think that it could have been that much food. But oh were we mistaken. They came out with a huge plate of about 20 pieces of chicken and a giant plate of fries. Everyone in the restaurant stared at us wondering what we were doing. And we had the same question. It was very good, but we both were pretty tired and didn´t want to stuff ourselves too much, so we ate a few pieces and pushed even more around our plates to make it seem like we did some damage.

After dinner, we waited around the bus station until out bus finally took off at around 1am.
