The selling out in Mancora

After a 7 hour coach ride finally arrived in Cuenca, the third largest city in Ecuador. Cobbled streets and historical architecture. Much friendlier than Quito but filled with eccentric elderly Americans... We visited cathedrals, saw a school parade and nearly tried ´´Cuy´´, but was put off by the price ($19!)

Had enough of city life and desperately wanted some sun and sea so we made it down into Peru. No border troubles, we made friends with the armed guard and slept but there were some quite disturbing crocodile/ python movies in the coach.

Nowwww, weve arrived in Mancora, Peru. A lovely little surf town on the north coast. On our journey down we decided that we'd stay in the 15 solas hostel instead of the AMAZING hostel (they call it a hostel but its practically a resort) but when we visited this amazing hostel we decided that it was worth the extra 10 solas in order to get away from our boring little hostel and get with the party at Loki, the resort!
So here we are, feeling slight like sell outs but nevertheless happy with our decision and looking forward to some surf, sun and sand!

Still deciding on our next stop, but we think we'll be enjoying this town for a little while...
