Day 50 - Lima to Huanchaco, Peru (7 May 2012)

Day 50 – Lima to Huanchaco, Peru (7 May 2012)

This morning we get up and book the bus to Trujillo, which is about ten minutes inland from Huanchaco, our next destination.  The bus trip is going to take us about 9 or so hours.  We can book the bus (Cruz Del Sur) at the hostel so that is handy.  Our bus is booked for 12.30pm so we head back to our room and pack our things.  We get to the bus terminal and board our bus, the majority of the trip was along the coastline so it wasn’t too bad.  It was fantastic to see the Pacific Ocean!  After such a long time without seeing the sea, great site!  Also a bonus was the whole bus was Cama so we had a comfortable ride north.  During the bus ride we had four movies to watch, 3 of them were in Spanish with English subtitles so that is a step up from previous bus trips.  But one of the movies was in English!! Pity it was the worst movie of the lot of them.  Anyway we arrive in Trujillo about 9.30pm.  We talk to a German girl who was on the bus, she is heading to Huanchaco to spend three weeks there volunteering, so we hop in a taxi with her.  We booked a hostel but we have not heard from them so we are just going to turn up at the hostel.  As we drop the German girl off, one of her friends asked if we had a hostel booked, we said no and she offered us a room at a very cheap price, so we took it.  Problem solved!  This place is quite a nice hostel too.
