entry & travel map
Trujillo, Peru
Day 2 at the beach and want a new hostel as ours is pretty horrid - and the window won´t shut! Good security! Alex and Michelle find a nicer hostel to more to, then its back to the beach! Somehow, Sven, a day behind us, manages to find us on the beach - i think its our fantastic panama hats! We didn't get round to surfing, just swimming in the sea, body surfing, and tasting all the food and ice creams as the vendors trundle up and down the beach. Alex made a boat in the sand - i think the idea was it would be a sand sculpture, but a slightly strange Peruvian family got very interested and started joining in, so we all did too! Then for a beer to watch the sun set over the pacific, as the tide came in to get us! Then to test a few of the bars along the strip.
Next day, tickets for the bus for that night, and then back to the beach. Need to keep the Churo man in business buying is dulce leche sweets! The surf and current is much bigger today so more fun in the sea, although we did see one resuscitation, he got up and walked after. Then the pleasure of being salivered on by an immense dog - i´m not sure i found it quite as funny as the others! A vendor tried to sell us his bracelets for about an hour, and then found us at the bus station at 10.30 - full marks for persistence. Odd to Trujillo now.
Thursday meet Owen on the bus and all head to Huanchaco, a nearby beach town. Then to Chan Chan ruins, halfway between the two towns. Its an adobe city in the midst of the coastal dessert. Fascinating maze of rooms and ceremonial chambers, as well as a pool from a well. To the museum and rainbow temple, then totally shattered from all this culture we need some food, bus tickets can wait. There's a fiesta on the street in Huanchaco, some interesting music...a few cocktails and connect 4 championship for us in the bars!
Friday, we get our tickets for another night bus :-(, this time to Huaraz in the mountains. We check out Trujillo, with a beautiful centre, and great ice cream more importantly! We even manage to persuade the bus stewardess we should have the film in English!
Saturday arrive in Huaraz and check it out. Alicia has quit secret garden and returns to us tonight! The four are reunited!
