finally some news from mancora



























































































































































































































hey boys and girls,
i know that it took a long time since i posted the last time, but i guess i am adapting more and more to the peruvian way of life - manana, manana.
however, here we go! work here right now is relatively quiet since it is low season. last week i went with jason and ryan (californian ex-pro surfer) for a surf trip to trujillo, 900 km south of mancora. the mission behind this trip was to find a mcdonalds and to surf the world's longest left-handed wave in chicama.
after arriving in trujillo, we asked the taxi driver, where to find a mcdonalds, burger king or any other western-world food...unfortunately, he said, that there is not one single restaurant here - what a nightmare;-( so we decided to take the taxi to huanchaco, a beach resort near trujillo with a nice beach break. we surfed the waves for 2 days and then made our way to chicama. on the way, jason suddenly screamed: YELLOW M!!!we found a mcdonalds in a huge mall that was just opened 5 months ago. so we spend the day eating!:-)
chicama was pretty small, but still impressive. located in the middle of nowhere, this wave is supposed to be the longest left-handed wave in the world - when it is big! however, the wave is just perfect, but the water amazingly cold and we were freeeeeeezing our ass off! unfortunately, i broke a rip while surfing and have to take a break for hopefully only a few days....
so, before taking the bus back to mancora, i visited chan chan, an ancient kingdom, quite impressive and the funniest thing was, that i was the only one running around in these ruins, which made me take some random fotos...

so yesterday morning i came back to mancora and back to work...the sun is still shining, the sky is blue and in the next days, wind and waves are expected - we'll see!

i hope you guys at home are doing fine and i am always looking forward to receiving some emails!
oh, internet is still only available in this internetz kaffee...

check out the photos and tell me what you think!:-)

saludos de mancora, peru

I checked out the pics and think you are a lucky dog, captain. Keep on not moving to fast...

Schnauze Perry! Immer diese Fragerei: "Was will man mehr?", "Wer war noch dabei?", "Mit welcher Bahn bist du nach Hause?" . Lass den Kapitän doch bitte in Ruhe weiter sein Ding machen.
Nilsi dein Unfall sorgte hier für Furore und wir machten uns Sorgen. Hoffe es wird wieder. Mach einfach weiter so, wir halten die Stellung hier. Im Westen soweit nichts neues...
