So, time for a plan rethink - the beach. Amanda assures me it wasn't a deliberate accident to get in some beach time! Mancora, 7hrs north of Chiclayo is a gorge
ous beach town on the edge of the desert surrounded by beautiful cliffs and a lot of sand. The beach stretched on for kms and kms, and the town was nothing more than a surf town with a few hostels and some fabulous restaurants!Amanda did lots of r&r and I spent every day mastering
kitesurfing, a long time goal of mine. 5 days of kitesurfing and now I can go upwind and everything! Kitesurf instructor was a crazy american dude (all kitesurf instructors seem to be a little insane) and at lunch time every day we would drive off to some awe
some beach location down the coast depending on the wind. One beach was where 
Ernest Hemingway wrote a book and did some fishing? So we did do some culture!The evenings were spent eating Thai, Mexican, Steak, Seafood etc etc, all a massive treat after 3 weeks of chicken and rice.
The hostel we stayed in was quite funny. Full of 18 year old englis
h backpackers sitting around all day playing drinking games and watching the footy world cup. Reminded me of when I was travelling at 18, but Amanda was less than impressed! Worth it though, as our basic hut was right on the beach with gorgeous views of the sunset and the sound of waves every night.
