Huanchaco

05/04/11  We were tempted up here by our Bristol friend John who's been living in the Pacific fishing town for a year'ish.  It was a nice time :) Chilling at the beach, in the town and at Hostel Lily, surfing big cold waves and learning to Salsa (Salsa is not a verb! But who cares?).  Thanks to Delia for taking us into Trujillo to her Salsa school!  (John has sexy hip shaking issues).

The Pier.  There is a sweet left hand reef break all down the beach to the right.  John struggled as it got quite big and he handn't had to use his arms for many months!  Stuck at it though and bagged some waves :) The water is cold!

Classic reed fishing boats, classic car.

Apparently it's nearly winter.  Boo.  Lets go to the Northern Hemisphere on Sunday :)  Misty with sunburny spells.

Pelicans.  Not quite as bright eyed and bushy tailed as in Sydney, but BIG none the less.  They love bombing down the line and pulling out before it closes out :)


Wishmeam = Seaside.

Fight!  There are elections in Peru this weekend.  All the bars are shut. Makes for a sober judgement?

  1. I love the pelican shot - we struggled to capture a shot of 1 in Cuba and you've got a whole flock!

    The pier looks a bit like a fade British resort but I'd like to see the reed boats in action.
