Our long journey from Mancora to Quito wasn't that painful there were two of us with eight other guys who did the same journey, and with the long queue at immigration you find yourself chatting to anyone in the queue. Discovering how people got conned into paying up money for not having their yellow fever card for leaving Peru!! Such a scam as for one Peru isn't a country that needs the yellow fever certificate and for another we are leaving the country not enter...

Surfers paradise apparently shame about the surf...seen guys waiting half an hour on their boards for a decent wave...not the season maybe!!! We shared our night bus with cockroaches and paid extra for the privilege next time we will go cattle class with other sheep!
