So the journey started. Our first section went really well, it was only three hours and we arrived safely with nothing to report. We booked our night bus to Santa Cruz, so spent a wonderful day walking around Sucures plaza and had a really nice Italian meal. We even made friends with a local boy who I bribed with chocolate to let us have some of his bird seed so we could feed the birds. Later after getting some supplies for the bus we wasted a little more time ...

We soon arrived to our destination Copacabana and after about 7 hostels we managed to find one that had space. We only planned to stay for one night here as time is starting to run away from us. We walked around the town which took only a few minutes and found a cute little restaurant. We were w...
