Arrived real late again so had to check into a ropey looking hotel, turned out it was actually alright. Had a lie in an then went to look for another hostel, on the way hearing 'sit down banos' shouted from two punks Mark and Sam from our trek. They took us to their hostel where we dumped our bags (Joel re packed his) and went off to meet Adam, Ida and Mirjam also from our Machu picchu trek. Was quite cool that we were all reunited again, went for lunch and then ...

Was good to get back and have a hot shower and feel clean again!! Had some food and went down to the rest of our groups hostel for a couple of beers and say goodbye to Juan our tour guide.

Woke up at 4am grabbed our bags and headed down to reception at 4.15 to wait to be picked up.

Was a pretty nice city, the square was picturesque and a lot nicer than we thought it was going to be. Was a bit touristy, due to obvious reasons but a cool place to wander around. We went into a couple of bars and got talking to this Kiwi guy who used ...

The bus was pretty crappy for the whole 8 hours and when we arrived to Chiclayo the taxi man took us to this hotel we didn't even want him to, blatantly he worked for them or had some sort of commission thing going on! Turns out it actually wasn't too bad, nice shower and had cable TV so got to watch Chelsea batter Spurs 4-2 so that was a nice end to an awful day of travelling!! We did a tour to the Sipan temples and pyramids around Chiclayo which the hostel book...
