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
