Into Peru

Had a 14 hour drive the next day into Peru. In that time the landscape changes so much - from being able to see the volcano in all its glory, snow capped and smoking, amongst verdant montains, then to wend our way down massive valleys where the clouds were below us, to humid plantations of bananas for miles upon miles, through the Peruvian border control (lots of officials in a hut) and then into Peru where we immediately came to a coastal desert with nothing but scrub as far as the eye could see, lit up to pink and red by the sunset.

We are staying for three days on the beach, near to a town called Mancora. It is absolutely scorchio and I got absolutely burnt, UK tourist style today. Tomorrow we have an early start to drive to another beach town, where we will see Inca ruins of the sun and moon temples.

More beach shots please
...and preferably topless ones. Would really help brighten up my working day.
