Lobitos.

I went and spent a week staying in this dried up old oil town called Lobitos and surfing. There was a bunch of waves, two tiny shops and a handful of houses.

Everyone built boats on the beach.



This was where I stayed, no water, no toilet, no windows, well one front one but the rest were boarded up. $3 a night haha

Trujillo y Huanchaco.

I slept on a guys roof in Trujillo and this was the view.


There was an ancient castle made out of mud.


And after two months out of the ocean I made it back to the beach in Huanchaco.

The Amazon!

I had been waiting to go here since I was about 8 years old, our trip had a few problems, mainly the shockie on the back left snapped off and the car was sitting on the tyre. They managed to fix this with an old tyre tube but no one was having any of it because we were so high up in the air going around crazy mountains. This was an ongoing problem because they kept trying to get us to go back in the truck. Everyone had some sort of problem with this, I was just completely in awe of where I was!

Lima








Catacombs.



16th century library. The pages were made out of sheep skin and were filled with religious texts. I could have spent forever in here taking photos but 1, we were not allowed to take photos at all, I got this one on the sly and we had to stay behind some shitty rope and could get no closer than that. But it was soooo amazing!!

Paracas.


I went for a surf in Lima, the water smelt like sewerage, the water was as cold as Melbourne in the middle of winter, climbing over the rocks I had to navigate through glass and many planks of wood with multiple nails sticking out, and it was about as easy to get as wave as surfing the Pass in the middle of summer. But I was sooo stoked! First surf in 3 months.
