Mancora

We try to upload as many pictures as we can, but it takes a good computer to upload pictures down here, and its hard to find those around, sorry. Doing our best, and thanks for the interest :-)


Coming to the end of tuesday here in Mancora after a few relaxing days. Feels like we have been super active, and I wish I could say we have, but weve spent most of our time by the pool. and the beach. with a beer. with good food. in 35 degrees. Anyone say snow, cold, depressing weather in denmark? Yesterday we went to town and got a surflesson for a couple of hours. Managed to stand up on quite a few waves and overall very satisfied with myself for a first timer, and I think AC can say the same. However, the waves were at the least 2-3 metres tall, and when youre lying down on a surfboard and about to surf for the first time, its a little scary when your instructor just turns your board around and pushes you into the wave. The trick, as we quickly discovered, is simply just not looking back. Had a lot of fun, and planning on going back for some more hours both thursday and friday. Will be heading to Mama Cocha, the other Kiya centre here in the area, tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing how that has changed since the last time I was here.

The hostel were staying at is definetly meant for the younger crowd - loud music into the night and backpackers all around. Its definetly entertaining and you get to meet a lot of new people, but frustrating not to have anywhere to turn away to when you want just a minute of quiet and peace. Enjoying our days here without a doubt though, and despite looking forward to getting back to Urubamba already, I wish we could stay here for a few days extra with a few bucks extra in our wallets as well. Its not particularly expensive, but backpacking leaves you with a budget, unfortunately.
