Day 16: Had a chill morning, we weren't leaving until midday so I had a lie in and still had plenty of time to pack. It was particularly exciting today because I now had a new guide and 10 new people joining the group, so I was interested to meet them all. Our new guide, Mabel, is amazing, she's so energetic, enthusiastic and organised. On the 5 hour bus journey we firstly watched a movie called 'Nature Calls' about a man whose scout troup is failing so he hija...

Day 15? I'm losing count. I didn't realise how hard it actually is to make sure I update this every day, I know I'm forgetting things aswell, but hey look at me committing to something for once in my life After a lie in, a shower and 4 bread rolls, Amy and I decided to go for a walk along the coast.

Arrived in Lima, got a transport to out hotel, Hostal Gemina, which is a really cute little place, it's got some nice leather sofas whe...

On Day 13 we got up bright and early to go visit some Chimu ruins; the Chimus were the natives who lived around Trujillo before the Incas conquered them, one thing I've noticed is that everyone in Peru is very keen to show that there is far more to their history than Incas, who were around in the 1500s whereas the Chimu people were around over a thousand years ago. First we went to a place called Huakas Y Lunas (temple of the moon) which was an old Chimu religi...

Days 11 &12 were relatively chilled, had a lay in, went surfing around 11 for an hour (I did manage to catch about three waves but the saltwater had effectively rendered me blind) Although I got horrendously sunburnt, the entire backside of my body is now burnt and the doctors on my trip advised me to get 800mg Ibuprofen painkillers just so I can sit down, it's brutal. Spent the rest of the day after that just chilling in a hammock, watched the new Game of th...
