It is strange to think a few months ago I was travelling up the west coast of America next to the Pacific and here I am again! There are similarities with the rough rugged coast line and the ever present strong winds.
We have had another couple of days of hanging around the beach and up in our hammock. The winds become rather strong in the afternoons so it can get a bit cold and it is very easy to burn, however much I warn the girls, all they want to do is tan themselves more and more!
It does feel as though it is time to move on now but it has been a great relaxing few days. We have a bus booked for tomorrow morning, going back down the coast to Chiclayo. We thought we’d take a day bus this time as it takes about 7 hours and the night buses leave about 10pm and we didn’t want to be arriving in a new town the early hours of the morning. It seems where ever we go that people warn us of the dangers of where ever we are headed next but touch wood, apart from the manic driving it all has been OK so far.
It has been a shame that as the three of us are together we don’t seem to have a lot of interaction with other people, I wonder how it will be when I am here alone? It is far harder not speaking the language, I had presumed that more people would speak English but so far virtually noone has, and my very basic grasp of Spanish seems to have disappeared totally, I can only think of words in Italian or French for some reason!
We haven’t booked anywhere in Chiclayo to stay and will find something when we arrive. We intend just staying a night there and then finding a bus that will take us the following night into the Andes and that is where our real adventure will begin!!
