Foggy Huanchaco and the Pacific Ocean

At last...the Pacific Ocean and beautiful beaches, although for the first day, they were completely shrouded in fog. Thankfully, the sun came out on our second day; surfers, seafood, cheap beer, no noise and a decent hostel for 10 quid per night meant we were happy chappies! (Mrs P was a little too happy after watching Murray´s semi-final win and celebrating with a couple of Pisco cocktails - had to carry her home!!) (Fib mum!!!! KP)

After 4 days of sun/fog, we headed off for Chiclayo, home of Juan Aurich, the footballing Champions of Peru and part 10 of the South American football tour.

Juan Aurich 1 Huanchaco 0

2 x 1 on tickets which was a bonus. We got befriended by the local yoof - Kevin, Nick, Pedro and Anton. Poor atmosphere but can´t expect anythin else from only 2000 crowd. The yoof tried their best though and brought flags and drums. A penalty last minute won the game for Juan Aurich. The pitch was synthetic due to the fact that it virtually never rains here...different!
