Los Faiques 101, Santa Victoria Chiclayo, Peru, 51-74-273445
Today I left Ecuador behind and started my journey south into Peru. I hate travel days, but they are anavoidable when you have big distances to cover. I had to be up early to get to the bus station in Loja before 7am, so I saw the sunrise that morning! Today I spent a total of 11 hours on a bus! An 8 hour bus ride from Loja across the border to Piura in northern Peru, then another 3 hours from Piura to Chiclayo. Actually, it wasn't too bad. I scored a reasonably comfy window seat, and althoug...
Chiclayo, Peru shesoffagain... couldnīt (or wouldnīt) translate some of the stuff these guys were coming out with, it was extremely entertaining even with the language barrier and the rest of the restaurant were also enjoying the banter.
Another beer later, and it was that time for exchanging addresses which is when Frankli (Ianīs new best mate) asked the waiter for some paper to write down his full set of phone numbers (although he was ...
... some archaeological sites in the surrounding area and leave after a couple of days.
To be honest, it didn't start out too badly. We easily found somewhere to stay and somewhere to eat but I think the couple of beers I'd had did nothing for my throat or my general well-being. The next day I woke up feeling worse – pain, pain, pain. I had to go to the doctor. So off we went, trawling the streets for a general practitioner. We eventually found one who was ...
... with a local witch doctor - VicenteAlejandra - world famous and featured in some German and French magazines. He asked me to let him feel my pulse from the palm of my hand, then held his hand to my forehead and felt my chakra and spiritual energy. He told me that I needed to have a potion containing the bones of some wild Peruvian cat similar to a tiger (cant remember the name) and he mixed up a potion for me ...
Chiclayo, Lambayeque, Peru courtrand... snowboard. It was the same thing right? Just on sand?
They told us to wait an hour for our driver so we headed out to our corner cafe for breakfast. The driver that showed up looked like he was the owners grandpa. On the way outside of town he stopped to pick up who I can only guess was his wife. The two of them were turning this taxi ride into a driving date. We understood now why the driver only option was cheaper. We really had no idea where we were going - just that it was out of ...
... de 22 jeunes femmes. Malgre une forte presence economique, on ne sait pas grand chose de cette civilisation et notemment de sa religion car toutes les icones religieuses semblent avoir ete detruites lors d'un coup d'etat en 1100, puis par les Chimu. Je retrouve Lucie pour prendre le bus pour Chachapoyas, malheureusement, les departs sont annules car la route est bloquees par des indigenes. Nous retournons au Peregrino.
... you can get an idea of what some of these items looked like. But none of these was as impressive as what was at the first museum...if you can imagine that! The most unusual item to me was the nose rings. These varied from small and simple to very large and ornamented. It is thought that the nobility were seen as part animal and that these guards covered their very ...
Chiclayo, Peru margreet98... me to the Emtrafesa bus station to get my bus ticket (S./13) to Chiclayo, where I'm located now. The bus ride, which I took at 11am) was ok, taking about 3 or 3 1/2 hours. I took the picture of the little baby girl *right* in front of me to prove my theory, but at least she wasn't super obnoxious (the whole time), it was during the day, and it wasn't a super long ...
Chiclayo, Peru christianbjork... Very little is open in town and we are hungry for some supper. We found a bar open and go inside this dark, filthy little hole in the wall. Men so drunk they are passed out on the table. Others singing out of tune to some depressing Spanish music. Others still hustling girls who look no older than 16 while the rest of them drink their spirits and constantly spit on the floor ...
Chiclayo, Peru chemoejito... cake, an cost nothing at all. They even made copies of our docs for their records instead of asking us for them. Then when we left, a Peruvian guard offered one piece of advice: donīt stop in Sullana. Piura is ok, but sonīt stop before then. And he was right. First thing that happened is the landscape completely changed. From the mix of arid and tropical mountains and countryside we had seen since forever, suddenly we were in the Peruvian coastal ...
