Recreo Trujillo

... basis - followed by drinking of their blood. Rather have an ínca kola´ myself!<br>After that we had a 5 hr drive before 2nd bush camp on trot. Although bush camps are easy and quick, I´m glad we don´t have them that often going forward. After a couple of days camping in the desert with no washing facilities whatsoever then it does make you appreciate a good shower, or even a pants shower for that matter....in fact just running water. Defo quite comfortable with the whole ...

... women being caring souls and men liking to hack holes in the ground!<br><br>Catherine wasn&#8217;t dead keen on this guide after he confidently informed us that all British people were very tall and so she was something of an oddity. Little did he know that she was the one carrying the tip money...<br><br>Accommodation Price: 3 Bootes<br><br>Bed: 2 Bootes (plastic duvet, need I say more)<br><br>Shower: 2 Bootes

... surfers, but as a whole, they all seem to be the most unintelligent people ive ever meet. Maybe its just because they are so chilled and layed back that they appear like they have nothing intelligent to say, but I havent heard anything decent come out of the mouth of a surfer on the trip yet. Apart from that one guy that banged onto me about the right hand break about half hour up the coast that was the heaviest wave he has ever riden.... Anyway, Trujillo plaza was nice and ...

Came in to Trujillo on the morning bus and then left on the evening bus (2 nights on the busses - great!)<br><br>Had about 9 hours here and for the first 3 went around some archiological sites (a lot of brown earth!) then spent the next 6 hours wasting time in cafe`s and shopping in a very nice Mall (reminded me of home!) Even went to a McCafe!

... the road and go with her to see the El Brujo archeological site. The cops would probably radio ahead to their colleagues further down the road to advise there are two stupid Gringos coming and to prepare some other traffic violations for us and we might avoid this by getting off the road for a bit.<br> <br>So we headed down some country roads, most of them dirt roads towards ...

... Complex, which has been extensively restored and redone, to the point of seeming a little fake in places for all its perfection. We visit this enormous section of the town after a whirl through the mediocre Museo de Sitio. Large squares and plazas are adorned with geometric patters, simpler than the Moche but still imposing.<br><br>From Chan Chan, we make a token visit to the beach town of Huanchaco. In the low season, it looks like a great place to chill for a few days, if only I had ...

... place. I got a great photo of one with a blonde mohikan, specially perched on a stool for me (most likely against its will, judging by its resigned expression) by an eager market stall owner. Our guide was a nice woman who spoke pretty good English and she took us round Huaca del Luna. This was really interesting, although spoiled somewhat by the large amount of scaffolding everywhere - the site is in the process of being excavated ...

... in the afternoon, and meeting a couple of Peruvian guys (not the first guy i´ve met named Jesus) who we planned to meet up with the following night.<br> Day two in town and we opted for the organised tourist tour of the ruin sites, purely for the ease of not knowing exactly which of the public buses to catch and taxi prices working out to be more expensive. Turns out the english couple were on the same tour, so we were able to ...

... reed. In the late afternoon fishermen stack the reed rafts upright in the sand to dry in the sand. The fishermen are known to give visitors rides on the totora boats out into the sea. Even though we did see one or two people being given rides out on these boats, the water looked freezing and it was cold. So the thought didn&#8217;t cross our mind to have that experience on the caballitos, especially seeing we still had our jackets on. <br><br ...
