Beach Bums

2 April
Huanchaco, Trujillo, Peru

With 2 overnight bus trips in a row broken up by a day in Trujillo, we were torn between spending a day at the beach or at the Pre-Inca ruins of Chan Chan. The ticket seller, who was delighted to practice his English, recommended the beach, and still feeling ruined-out, we didn't need much persuasion. Our new friend kindly stored our backpacks in his tiny office and we headed off for a day of sunshine and rejuvenation!

Our stomachs still feeling a little delicate, we sat chilling on the beach within close proximity to a toilet! Met a good Catholic German boy volunteering for a local church for a year who educated us on Peruvian music after whipping out his ancient wireless radio. It was clear he was very excited to have some Gringo company and kindly offered to show us around Trujillo - unfortunately we had to decline as we were catching a bus on to Mancora that evening...

While waiting at the bus station we couldn't help but notice the 2 sunkissed hotties walk in with their surfboards and we were delighted when we all boarded the same bus!
