Mancora

We arrived at 6am on the night bus after crossing the border into Peru and then had a quick nap before breakfast.
We met the group in the lobby and went for a walk along the beach and swim in the other side of the Pacific Ocean - the sand is a lot darker and water a lot warmer than Sydney beaches!
We then went back to the hotel to meet our new tour guide, Andre, who would be taking us all the way through to La Paz, Bolivia. We tried out the local Asian fusion restaurant with some yummy tuna poke bowls and local beers :)
We had a lesson on making the Peruvian national drink - Pisco Sour (pisco, sugar cane liquor, egg whites and lime) - at the bar at our hotel before heading out to watch the sunset over the ocean (and enjoying another Pisco Sour of course!)
We went to a pizza place recommended by our guide for some awesome wood-fire oven pizza and played some pool/table tennis before turning in for the night.Read more
