Goodbye Ecuador, we depart 6.30am today for Peru 5 hour bus journey, we grab a very quick breakfast and say our goodbyes to Sarah and Sybylla. Taxis to bus depot to start our journey to Mancora Beach for 2 days of sun and sand and everyone is very excited. Arrive Peru 1pm change from bus to small people mover where we proceed to immigration office to get our passports stamped and change our money to Peruvian soles. We continue on for another 2 hours which is much more enjoyable than a public bus as now Carla puts some cds on that we all sing along to. We drive towards the coast and I finally get my first glimpse of the ocean since arriving in Sth America, didn't realise how much I had missed it. We arrive Mancora Beach 2.30pm not having had lunch and are all starving but by the time we check in and then go for a walk to change money and use ATMs etc and get organised it is nearing 4.30pm so a very late lunch is enjoyed by all right on the beach, it doesn't get much better. Our accommodation is very good and right on the beach I am sharing with Rececca for 2 nights. We have some free time after lunch so some of us wander the markets and after which Julia and I decide to do a walk along the beach just on sunset as we haven't had any excercise today. I get some very good photos of the setting sun, very beautiful. On the way back we join Carla, Gemma and some locals for a drink on the beach (pisco sour) We meet outside our rooms at 8pm to go find a restaurant for dinner, I have a tuna steak, potato and salad one of the best meals I have had . We go to a club the Gecko Bar for drinks after dinner where some of the group get friendly with the locals, I enjoy sex on the beach (alas that is cocktails), a very good night and excellent start to our time in Peru.
