MANCORA

obviously not Paul

A thousand apologies but due to Paul's eagerness to try and catch some waves and Rhaani's eagerness to lie on a sunlounger and catch some rays we completely forgot to take any pictures of Mancora. It wasn't that great and the suf was nowhere near this big.


WHERE: Mancora

WHERE (less detailed): north west of Peru
WEATHER IS: sunny but sometimes a little too hot to lie out - unless you're lobster Baxter
PEOPLE ARE: our French hosteliers were simply uninterested in running a hostel. The receptionist seemed to speak an entirely different language to Spanish. Thus she didn't have our booking, didn't understand "i need a towel" or "clean our room please".
FOOD IS: Fantastic everywhere apart from our hostel. A fantastic breakfast next door with pancakes and hash browns. A tasty Mexican-ish place just around the corner and a fusion-Peru place where we ate pasta.
A MEAL COSTS: £5 a head
A BEER COSTS: £2 for a Heineken
HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS: Paul finally gets to use the rash vest and surf boots he's been carrying around the past 8months ... and catches some decent waves ... Rhaani finally gets to enjoy some yoga classes ... Julie gets ill (and passes it on to the rest of us)... Paul damages his surfboard and is upstaged by two 12-year-old surfer chicks ...
UP NEXT: GUAYAQUIL and a panama hat pilgrimage
