"Huanchaco, Huanchaco!"

---

Twenty minutes north of Trujillo is Huanchaco, a cool little surfing village, famous for some sort of long surf stretch? As you can see from the photos, our attempt at bodyboarding left a little to be desired!!

Huanchaco is more famous for its Totora reid boats, which fishermen still use today. They´re basically like reid canoes with fishing nets hung out of the back.

Huanchaco was a really nice place to just chill and relax in the sun. We sat and sipped cocktails, listened to regae music and munched on barbecued kebab!

"Huanchaco, Huanchaco" was the call of the local bus drivers, we just found it quite amusing!

Huan!!!
Seems to be quite a few places starting with 'huan', any idea what that means? Great you've had time to chill by the sea after your visit to the mountains. Really enjoying following your trip. Colette was out on holiday last week and your mum invited us in for a meal and to watch the wedding DVD. Lovely to see and hear the speeches again. It really was a lovely day. Take care, Susan
