Montanita - Trujillo (Peru)

I can link quickly kms in the day to the border with Peru. At Guayaquil, I am arrested again by police. This time, I only give them to me for 10USD leave. The Pan American

km long field of banana until Huanquillas, the border town. The time to make representations to the customs and immigration and a few hours later I'm in Peru.

The landscape is changing radically. Tumbes past, the border town, the desert takes place. The climate is drier and warmer. The long road to one side of the ocean and the other desert lands and terribly dry. Surreal landscapes. It is not far from the planet Mars.

I will arrive in Mancora in the late afternoon noon small village of surfing and partying that has developed in recent years. The village, divided into two parts, one over the other typical tourist, has hotels, restaurants and markets of all kinds.

I found William's friend met in Cali, Colombia, and travel wheel chair.

I will stay 4 days, until the day after Christmas in Mancora. Some feasts, and good meetings with Loki Hotel where I'll stay to the end of the stay. And go back to Tumbes to buy a new guitar. Grief is buried forever.

I leave the 26th for Piura. I had originally planned to push on to Chiclayo in the motorcycle but decided otherwise. I stay in Piura for the night and I makes me seriously in a garage overnight. After review we must change the back strap and put a new chain. I also benefit for the refurbishing and correct any defects. A new start for the bike in full festive period. The bike also has a right to Christmas. I'll be in Piura on 28 and near Trujillo on 29. Since the Pan American Sullana through the desert Sechura. A desert Sandy on huge kms. Landscape of the world's end, nil. On either side of the road still stretches of sand, stone and sand dunes. Some vegetation persisted in some places despite the heat and despite the strong winds that blow.

I spend four nights, two in Piura, Chiclayo and to a in Huanchaco near Trujillo in real loner. Solitude, that of the interior, pointing the tip of his nose. It's strange. Friends are missing and I often think of them.

I'm leaving tomorrow to Huaraz, Cordillera Blanca in the middle of 3000 meters above sea level. The road between Huaraz and Chimbote is considered one of the most beautiful in Peru. I hope to arrive tomorrow evening. So I will spend December 31 in Huaraz hopefully.
