Peru

Máncora

Tuesday 12 July 2005 (day 51)

The culprit: ceviche, raw fish in lemon juice

We were meant to be moving on today but ........ it is so relaxing here we have decided to stay for just one more day. I think Stef is quietly pleased - he is suffering from a bit of an overdose of chilli and garlic from yesterday.

At breakfast I saw the three American girls down cutlery in mid flow and go, cameras in hand, to the window. Swimming along the bay was a group of dolphins. There must have been ten or twelve of them and they were quite close to the shore. No one was in the sea at the time but I wonder if the dolphins would have come to say hello if they were.

Stef crashed for a while after breakfast and I set up camp by the pool. It is quite hazy but the sun still feels strong. We both got burned feet walking through the water yesterday and I had to cover mine up. On the beach there are the ever present ladies selling hats, necklaces etc. What I had not realised is that they are actually sat here making them whilst waiting for someone to buy. One of them seems to be making a lurid pink bikini for one of the sunbathers on the beach.

At lunchtime I went to find Stef. He was still in bed and not at all himself. He got up for lunch but did not eat and then went back to bed. I had another lazy afternoon in the sun - bliss.

Evening came and went - another idyllic day in Máncora.
