Mancora

After a busy day yesterday, we had a later breakfast at the hotel and went for a long walk together along the beach before it was too hot. It is pretty quiet around Mancora - we suspect that people have cancelled/changed their trips to Peru because of the political unrest and natural disasters.

After our walk, we returned to the hotel to check out of our room before our next overnight bus tonight and then went on a short walk to the local markets with our guide, André. This is where all the locals buy their food (including fruit, vegetables, meat and fish - plenty of fish!!) It is much cheaper than the tourist spots of Mancora - we ordered a two course meal each (awesome soup/fresh fish ceviche and fresh grilled fish with rice and grilled banana) and a pineapple drink for the equivalent of $4AUD!

We went back to the hotel to chill out by the pool for the rest of the day. We played card games and read our books before boarding our night bus to Trujillo at 10pm (around a 10 hour bus trip).Leggi altro
