bring on...Peru!
We safely crossed the border in the middle of the night! Nice long bus journey to Piura then on to Chiclayo. After being bullied into staying at a differnt hotel by our taxi driver we had a nap and a relaxing day, we booked tickets to Chachapoyas to see the Kuelep ruins the following day. That day we jumped on a guided tour and managed to fit in seeing some historical things around Chiclayo like Sican and some Pyramid ruins. Another lovely 10 hour bus journey and we arrived in Chachapoyas.. stayed in a little hostal with a really friendly owner.. he even let us in a 5am without charging us for the night! The next day (think we are on about last friday now) We diid another tour of the Kuelep ruins. Some big Pre-Columbian ruins in the mountains. Im glad we didnt choose the longer cheap route of walking up there!
We had a really intresting couple of days.. but must admit we needed a bit of relaxation and fun. So up we went to Mancora... the wrong the direction, but worth it. We have been here a couple of days, had some time on the beach and by the pool and some good nights out. Theres a really good crowd.. although incredibly ´gringo´and english speaking.. not so good for our spanish speaking..
I think we will leave tomorrow night ... back on another night bus to Trujillo (i think)! We seem to be living on them.. every other night a bus!... its the cheap way to do it though!
Trips going well... all healthy and working on our tans... although i should just accept its not going to happen!
Will write again soon..
