Sun, surf and sand

We ended up spending 5 nights in the sleepy (not over easter though) beachside town of Huanchaco just north of Trujillo. We both got ill, Glen a little more, so it was lucky our hostel had that lovely hospital feel about it. We headed to Chicama for a couple of days to check out the surf that Scott still dreams about, but despite numerous attempts, Glen was still too weak to make the most of it.

Next stop was Mancora. Another beachside town close to the Ecuadorian border. We bumped into not 1 but 4 couples that we've met on our trip so far! The beach is wonderful and the waves are enough to satisfy any surfer- not huge but fun! Our accomodation is simple but just on the beach and right next to a great beach shack with a surf school, great breakkie and dinner spots. And the Maracuya juice (passionfruit slushy) is to die for!

So we've had 3 days of relaxing on the beach, drinking cocktails, eating seafood and chasing waves. Off to Ecuador tomorrow to follow the sun!
