Mollendo (because even travellers need a holiday!)

22nd April 2009 - 25th April 2009

Now some of you may laugh at the idea that travelling can be tiring, but it honestly is. Feeling worn out we decided to head to Arequipa's top holiday destination (to be fair you can't really say you've experienced a country without mixing it with the locals). We headed to the coast with the intention of doing nothing and that is exactly what we did. It was ace. We stayed in a hotel that cost the same as some of the hostels we had stayed at, although the bathroom stunk of egg (Alex got the blame but it honestly wasn't him!!!). The beach was nice and right on the pacific ocean. A note to anyone wanting to visit Mollendo doesn't do sandwiches or any snacks for that matter despite having them on the menu. They have great cheap Chinese though!!!!!
