Northern Peru



Hello Peru ! Amazing how things can change by just crossing an invisible "border".  Northern Peru was hot, dusty, and chaotic. I tried to get out of there as fast as I could. For three days now I have not seen one other Caucasian person. I love that ! I love to feel out of the main tourist zone. That's one major thing I did *not* like about Thailand. Everywhere you went there was foreign travelers and it did not feel as authentic to me. It's a bit hard to get off the beaten tourist track when you are a solo female traveler.
I took one or two or three buses and hopped off at a little beach town called Pacasmayo. Since the previous night I had the worst hotel ever, I decided to treat myself to a room with an ocean view. Living large at $25 a night.  I dipped my feet in that Pacific Ocean, walked along the ocean front for a long time, and enjoyed a nice meal before I hit the road South again.
