... from taking over the club as if it was his own...maybe the excessive amount of class A drugs he appeared to have consumed was responsible for this! Suddenly it is 4am and the decision is either go home or find somewhere else to go......obviously we opted for the latter and flagged down the one taxi in a ten mile radius to take us to Trijillo. We find a club and walk in to see the dancefloor packed with couples salsa dancing away....and there was Adrian and Sven ...

After an overnight bus from Mancora we arrived in Trujillo around 8am, we managed to sleep on the bus but we´re still really tired... however our Hostel in Huanchaco allows us to check in straight away.. yippee!!!!<br><br>We took a walk down the sea front of Huanchaco, there´s not a lot to see or do, but we are staying here because Trujillo is not entirely safe for tourists!!! There are a few bars and restaurants, nothing like Mancora though!!!!<br><br>We saw a couple of ...

... there, but they didn't want Salina in the place so Sylvain and I set up camp on the beach in town, next to some traditional indigenous fishing surf boards. We had a good night sleep on the beach there although surprisingly chilly. We never thought we would be wearing coats and wool hats on a beach in Peru in August...<br><br>Up next Tortugas and the road to Huaraz <br> <br><br> <br>

It´s not that bad, it just isn´t all that good. <br><br>However, I dutifully toured some of the sights, most of which consisted of ruins - something Peru has in abundance (trust me, I´ve seen lots of ruins in the last 6 months and they lose their appeal surprisingly rapidly) but I found myself short of things to do rather quickly.<br><br>So what d you do when ...

... slept in. Lazy. At 7.25am, resigned to the fact that it was impossible for breakfast to be made and then for us to eat it before the taxi, we we asked for our 30 soles back, which was duly returned (we had paid for breakfast the night before). Soon one lady arrived and started busying herself, apologetically and frantially making sandwiches.<br><br>The taxi did not show up. By 7.40am we were getting very worried, so Andy and Nicki ran down to the main road to flag down a taxi ...

... free to leave his home &#8211; otherwise he could have been fined heavily. The internet cafe was packed and I waited at the spare chair waiting for a seat to open up. Fortunately, I did not have to wait for too long for a PC. I was there for about an hour before heading back to the hostel. Even though it was dead quiet in town, there were clear skies and sun all round. <br><br>The rest of the afternoon was spent watching the TV back at the hostel ...

... that most towns and cities in Peru had a main square in the centre of town which in turn would be surrounded by a cathedral and local government buildings. I found out later that it was the norm in most South American cities and towns as the colonial Spaniards had set up in each city the centre with the central Plaza being the main and central point with a cathedral and local government buildings built right next to the plaza.
