Trujillo atvaiavau prie 5 ryto o Fernando i CS mane adjo priimti tik apie 11 ryto tad vis ryt praleidiu autobus terminale po to surandu kur papusryiauti.

Trujillo is a bustling city surrounded by desert we decided to stay in a small fishing village just outside T http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-778594.html HuanchacoFollowing Glen39s Mom39s advice to stop being nuts we arrived at a peaceful little surf town of 10000 people. Friendly calm place. The hostel McCallum Lodge was super. A family owned place that made every guest feel like part of their family. We met many travellers and hung out with two Americans in particular. The first two days we immersed ourselves in visiting historical si http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-778348.html With our trip from Lima to Trujillo came our first experience of Cruz Del Sur busses. If Hana was too excited about the chicken breasts Alison was definitely too excited about the bus. Honestly we all were. These titans of overland transportation make the Megabus look like a Robin Reliant and really raise important questions about the standard of Iberia planes. Having spent 24 hours on a bus fro http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-773421.html I39m not sure why Lima get39s such a bad reputation amongst travellers. I can only assume that those who espouse that it39s a horrrible place haven39t actually spent any time here or have gone to the wrong part. We spent Christmas in Miraflores which is a bit like the west end of London or Glasgow in that it has too many people with too much money but is also rather pleasant. Lima s http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-765226.html Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and on Friday morning it was time to pack up the tents say goodbye to the beach and hit the road for another long drive my next destination was 610kms away in a town called Huanchaco. We drove mainly along sandy roads through deserts and around giant rock formations the roads are pretty dire in this part of the world so it was a bumpy ride.

I made about 1200km in 4 days...After Baos I decided to visit the third largest town in Ecuador having said third largest it doesn39t mean a lot in Ecuador with an overall population of only about 13 million so I ended up in a lovely city called Cuenca which has a flair of a small town given through the many bricklayered s http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-746424.html Hola mis amigosich muss mich einfach mal bei euch entschuldigen dass ich die letzten 3 wochen keine Reiseberichte geschrieben habe. In Huanchaco war es schwer moeglich Reiseberichte zu schreiben. Denn ich hatte einfach KEINE Zeit. Zuviele tolle Menschen ein zu toller Beach zu tolle Fiestas Parties und vor allem zu viele tolle Wellen. Da bleibt eben keine Zeit mehr zum Computisieren.Kurzzusam http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-742301.html TrujilloThe colonial city of Trujillo in northern Peru is known as the Capital of the everlasting Spring. The city centre contains many examples of colonial architecture and most of them are surprisingly elegant and ornamented. Most of the buildings have been well preserved and are painted in vivid colours.

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 Murrays semifinal win and celebrating http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-735910.html Day 269 Friday 6th JulyThe breakfast at the hotel is pretty good and included fresh fruit eggs toast and juice so it was a good start to the morning. Our first missions today are to get our laundry done and airline tickets out of here. The first thing was the laundry which was easy and will be ready today at 5.00pm the next one the tickets were also easy and we have decided to fly all the way http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-729671.html Mancora and HuanchacoWe decided to hop an overnight bus to Piura to get into Peru.ltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangt That meant going back to Loja waiting in the terminal for a couple hours and finally jumping on our border crossing bus around 11pm.ltspangt For an overnight bus that crossed into another country it was m http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-720729.html We left Huaraz on an overnight bus to Trujillo. We left about 1015 pm on a fairly fancy Linea bus and arrived in Trujillo 9 hours later. They served us chicken and rice and cooked veggies for dinner which was fantastic. All we had brought was bread not as fantastic. The movie was Alive rather appropriate as we wound our way down the Andes.

Rather than stay in yet another grotty city we decided to wait it out in the bus station for 5 hours along with a short trip to a shopping mall we39d http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/Trujillo/blog-710657.html Two days into my stay in Huanchaco Peru a small fishing village on the outskirts of Trujillo I knew that I didnt want to leave. The weather was fantastic sunny and hot but not too hot and the people warm and friendly. For some reason there were heaps of Canadians which while a little odd after the solitude and disappointment of Lima made me feel welcome and right at home.
