Hotel Libertador - Trujillo

... Well I´d had a few by then and it got a good laugh, so it was worth it.<br>Although having great time, not everything has gone to plan to date so far. Before I left the UK my good buddy Helin gave me lots of advise, one of which was to occasionally put the camera down, stop snapping and take a mental picture for me and only me to enjoy. This really struck home on the first 2 wks of the trip but even more so since I had my camera nicked by a local! So I´m afraid the only pics ...

... infromation for once, as most other ruins only have spanish guides or signs and i miss alot of the main points.<br>The ruins didnt really impress here either. I think Mexico has ruined ruins for me! the Mayan and Aztec ruins in Mexico are so much better than any of the ones I have seen so far in South America.<br>After the ruins I headed back to the bus terminal, ate some tea nearby, studied some spanish and listened to some tunes before getting on the overnight bus up into the Andes and Huaraz.

... She ruled the Moche people and this, for us, was not too interesting - but understandably it was for Annette and we waited at the restaurant for her to complete this tour. We had a great time meeting some local people and some school kids on lunch break.

... the road. He stopped, U-turned and drove back, parked on the hard shoulder (some desert) waited for numerous lorries and other fast-moving traffic to clear and dashed into the road to get the sign. It was smashed up, and he looked rather forlorn.<br><br>We got the driver to drop us at a little market close to the hostel and spent an hour wandering around looking at various forms of tat. Highlights included a massager in the shape of a ...

... ice cream cones. After we explained and excused ourselves, we went back on the hunt for ice cream but strangely enough not finding any shops by the beach that actually sold it. Along the way we visited tourist shops that sold handicrafts, ceramics and souvenirs of small totora boats, but soon it was time for us to get back and hopped on a Trujillo-bound bus after being advised by a kind lady at the stop as to which number bus to take us back to the city.

... with 3 bunker beds. There was someone already asleep in the room so I crept into my bed. Seeing that it was still very early in the morning, I thought I would catch some sleep. I met up with my other roommate, Wendy, at breakfast a couple of hours later. She was Australian and on holiday in Peru from Chile where she was teaching English.
