Hello everyone!Thought I should make a few more updates as it's been a while!! After the disaater of the theft on the night bus, we ended up getting some money off the bus company and got the police report to claim on insurance. Trujillo and Hunchaco weren't all bad in the end, went to see the Chan Chan ruins, which is a Chimu city (Pre Inca) where there are lots of temples built in honour of each new king...

Has been pretty nice having now three people to look after us and sort everything out!! Both Peruvian, so its good that they can help us with learning spanish!
