Máncora - first days

"Bienvenidos a Máncora - paraiso del turismo y del amor" was the sign that showed the entrance to the "city" I will spent the next months in...sounds alright ey?!
The first days were quite slow and chilled out and most time was spent at the beach. The people here are nice and friendly, however there are even in this small village places that a "gringo" should not go to.
Unfortunately I have no internet yet so that I have to visit the incredibly fast internet cafes - therefore no pics yet, but hope that is going to change soon.
The hotel and company I am working for is located just at the beach and I can hear the waves breaking into the bay when lying in bed after having killed the daily 10-20 insects in my room;-)
Right now, there are only a few guests staying, but next week i will do a tour with some American surfers to the spots around Máncora - lets see whats happening!

So I guess thats it again for now - pics will follow with a faster internet connection...

Oh, and comments are welcome;-)

Saludos del paraíso

Arrived!

Sooooo, finally I arrived in Lima in the early evening after almost 20 hours travelling.
Now, I will stay a few days in the Inka Lodge in Lima, before setting sails to Máncora on Monday afternoon...
Punta Hermosa and a Surf-fair are waiting right now.

More news in a few days.
