... waves on the shore.<br><br>We walked and talked, bought bread and croissants for breakfast from the bakery, drew pictures in the sand and chased the crabs down the beach into their holes. I eventually stalked one into submission and then felt guilty when it gave up and just cowered into it´s shell. The bully I am!.<br><br>After 3 days, it had almost become home, but all good things must come to an end and it was time to move on....<br><br><br><br><br>

... first semi cama bus (damn good too), and when they turned the lights off I have to admit I had a little cry. Its weird how you can meet such great people and things can feel so intense and raw in only a few days. I had spent nearly the whole three days with her, and I dont think that I had laughed or smiled that much for a month or two.<br>Hopefully we can catch up again. She has a flight out of Lima on the 31st, Allan arrives there on the 27th. If i ...

Our various ailments (sore muscles, aching backs, stomach bugs and colds) had got a bit much now so we were really looking forward to lazing a few days away in Mancora. Basically we planned a hectic schedule which involved hanging around the beach, lying in hammocks, sleeping late, ice cold beers, massages and other related high-octane activities.<br><br> Our bus dragged us in to town around 6am and we were picked up by our hostel owner who unknowingly gave ...

... raisins which I added to porridge oats and mixed with the peach juice, it was quite nice actually. dave discovered 2 slices of bread in the bottom of the bag (how long they had been there I have no idea) he ate one with jam and the other with mayonnaise. Just goes to show WHAT you'll eat when you're hungry.<br><br>So last night we had a blow out, we ate out at one of the many restaurants in Mancora doing pasta and had the 'special', vegetable soup followed by spagetti ...

... you what stop you are at or where you should get off. Anyway we jumped off at the first stop that the bus made in Mancora, turns out that is not the one we wanted, the bus was still heading to the bus terminal with us running behind it. Despite banging on the side of the bus, which would have stopped it in Cananda, it continued on down the road. Lucky for us there is an army of moto-taxis in Mancora, more taxis than people I am sure. We jumped into one of those and took ...

... yet are so generous.<br>I get some oil from the lubricant shop, they seem to have very specialized shops here.<br>Back to the hostel, oil change, change out the chain and sprockets which I bought in San Jose, Costa Rica way back. I'll be glad to be rid of that extra weight! <br>While paying for a Pepsi in the hostel there is a earth tremor we are ushered out into the open but I still have to pay up.<br>All ...

It was a recipe for disaster for sure... or if not disaster, at the very least it was bound to be a fun and eventful week! <br>Arriving in Mancora we were faced with the ocean, warmth, and sunshine. Exactly what we were expecting and hoping for. After the usual bed hunt (finding a room that was a thirty second walk to the sand, for just the two of us, and with our own bathroom for half the price of the popular tourist hostels), we were in our bathers and ...

Hi Everyone, unfortunately my laptop was stolen, and I lost a bunch of pictures. I figured I´d document the portion of the next few portions without photos anyway.<br><br>I passed through the Ecuador-Peru border fairly painlessly. The bus I took stopped once in Ecuador to get stamped out, then again in Peru to get stamped in, and it was all very simple. I arrived in Tumbes in northern Peru, and took a "combi" (basically a minivan packed with about 15 people ...

Well, two out of three ain't bad! Its been a while since we found ourselves at a sunny seaside resort - four and a half months to be precise, when we last dunked our heads in the Atlantic on the Copacabana in Rio. I'm aware that we went surfing in Viña del Mar in Chile, but that was grey skies and cold water, so I'm not counting it. By contrast, Mancora in northern Peru has clear blue skies, a very hot sun and absolutely perfect water temperature ...
