Today, we took a 3 hour bus early in the morning, before changing to a more comfortable long-distance coach for the 6 hour trip to Trujillo, where we were to take a 20 minute taxi to Huanchaco, a beach town renowned for its surfing and its "surfing fishermen".
As we headed South, out of the Andes, the landscape became increasingly arid. Most of the bus ride today was through desert, complete with cracked ground and everything - just like on TV!
I was supposed to be cooking a BBQ this evening, since it was Lia's Birthday (25, Australia), but the buses were running late and we didn't arrive at the hostel until about 7 - we ended up going across the road to an Italian restaurant instead. I had Ravioli di Compa; good fresh pasta but the filling was bland - the tomato sauce it came in was perfect though. Silvana (27, our tour leader from Lima), had a vegetarian lasagne with white asparagus, spinach, artichokes and mushrooms - absolutely incredible.
After that, we picked up a few beers from the supermarket and headed back to the hostel to play cards by the pool.
