We had some dinner and then headed to the little office to get our night bus, a bit early, as we didnt have anything to do until 11pm, but just as we got there, a massive parade starting coming down the street... we chatted to some locals about the differences between Peru and England... and then got our bus at 11.30pm... ready for our journey to Ecuador...! Fingers crossed the "most difficult border crossing in South America" goes okay in the middle of the night!

... around the beach, ceviche, admiring our tans and beer.

So what about the game? I managed to watch it in a gringo hotspot and played bookie for the day. I even took a small profit for myself. Still didnīt make up for the disappointment of not being able to go to Pennys in the summer and buying myself some quality Irish tat.

After two weeks of putting off our departure date it was time to pick Doireann ...

la Posada, Mancora, Peru
It's cool but just right

The days here have been sunny and hot, just what the doctor ordered. not that we've been ill or anything, in fact we feel fighting fit at the moment. We were going to head off tomorrow but dave just didn't get round to doing the maintenance on the bikes today. It gets like that sometimes, even though you have all day to do something, you get to 6pm and realise ...

We decided to spend our last few days on the beach in Northern Peru - what a wise decision. The weather was beautiful, no cloud in the sky and we just hung out all day long, read our books, tried some of the retsaurants we didnt go to last time we were there.. It was the perfect way to end the trip!

... iznos novaca i nista drugo. ne mogu vjerovati da je mjesto tako malo, a da se osjecam tako nesigurno ovdje. nema sanse da bih izasla van na ulicu sama haha


U petak navecer isli van, tj. pili u hostelu na baru jer je bio happy hour. presmijesno. popila pivo, dvije rum cole i dva shota i sve sto mogu reci je da se nisam mogla popeti uz stepenice bez tude pomoci te ostali detalji definitivno nisu za siru javnost :D :D :D

... ventured out of the grounds to the rest of the town.
In reality the hostel was pretty cool, there was a pool and meals served, a pool table and it was right on the beach. We had to wait a while till our room was ready but we chatted with an Argentinean guy who was volunteering there, like Remi in Quito.

We went for a walk down the beach to get something to eat, it was similar to Mexico with the mud buildings and walls of different colours giving it a festive ...

... the artesanal miners situation, basically the Peruvian government wants to ban illegal miners who dont work in proper mines, obviously these guys are upset at the prospect of the lost of their livelihood. Eventually at around 4.30pm , we were told to go back to our vehicles, and after only another 1 hour and a half, we were on our way back on the road. Thankfully we had not folowed the wishes of some of our fellow coach passengers who wanted to ...

... surfing championships were going to take place the following week, but I didn't want to stay around until then just to see a few professionals surf the waves. As I laid on the sand, I saw a couple of horses standing on the beach waiting for other sunbathers maybe wanting to have a ride on the beach. When I got back to the hostel from the beach or just from the town itself, my flip flops often bought sand with them as there seemed to be sand ...
