Fairly uneventful day. Took a 4 hour bus ride from Chiclayo to Trujillo.Did my usual "check out" of the neighbourhood walk eg churches, plazas, colonial architecture. Even bumped into the German girl that I had the bus adventure with in Piura. In my wanderings, had a 100 per cent fruit juice and a real meat empanada, so far they have been hard t...

Am now in Trujillo, after a tedious 9-hour bus ride through arid desert yesterday. I'm sharing a reasonably nice flat with 5 other volunteers: 2 Irish girls, an English girl and a cute young American couple called Carter (boy) and Blaire (girl). I love it when Yanks have surnames as their first names. The flat is a lot better than I expected (ap...

Well, I woke up at 6 am this morning with some loud talking outside my door. I delivered a loud "SHHH" and they actually quieted down! Then I woke up again at 7:30 am because my TV turned itself on with blaring volume. I can only assume it was Peruvian poltergeists. I got up at around 8am and showered, then went down to the front desk and asked ...

After an overnight ride from Huaraz, we arrived bright and early to Trujillo. Trujillo is famed for a few reasons including the fact that it is a World Heritage Site, the 3rd most populous city in Peru with nearly 800,000 people, and it is also one of the largest exporters of asparagus in the world. After asparagus, it is known for its exports o...

yap, leaving Ecuador immediately changed the landscape from mountains to flat desert like country. Is it Northern Sahara? no you are in peru. Sand Dunes and Sand covered mountains all along the way. Several quite big citys on the way to Trujillo, a place where there is a Ruin of some anchiant times. (can tell, i am expert!). Nothing really to me...

After my brother arrived at our designated meeting point Monday night, we walked around town for a bit and then went to bed relatively early as I was still very tired from the overnight bus. On Tuesday we ventured a bit out of the city in a packed colectivo (22 people beat my previous record by 1) to see the Museo Tumbes Reales where they have t...

Bus journey was ok and arrived in Trujillo at about 6 and got a taxi to Casa Clara Hospedaje recommended in the books! We got a temporary double room (ie twin room. Our double rooms are called matrimonial rooms) until another was ready later and went out with Michael (one of the owners) on a tour to Huaca del Luna and Sol two of the most importa...

TRUJILLO Got to one of the many bus terminals in Lima, this time it was ITTSA. Nice leather seats which were semi-cama and plenty of leg space. This was to be a 10hr journey to northern Perus main city, Trujillo. This company only services the north of Peru which is a pity really as we would have used them for the central and southern regions. T...

Heres a few notes on my first few weeks in Peru - - Yes, finally I have found waves!! After dragging 20kg of surfing equipment through the currently waveless Ecuador I was starting to question the motives of my trip, hence my earlier than expected transfer to Peru. The waves here are some of the best and longest I have surfed, yet I am still to ...
