A Whole Lot of Transport. El Brujo, Huanchaco and Lord Sipan's Tomb, Chiclayo, Peru - June 2011

NINE forms of transport took us to these marvellous ruins for the day.

Our exciting auto rickshaw was one of them. The lads who drove us were about 15 years old and very sweet. A bit like being driven by your nephews.

One of the beautiful pieces of pottery in the museum. There was also a mummy so well preserved you could see the tattoos on her arms. It was fascinating, as you can imagine.

Trujillo town centre, near the beach of Huanchaco.

 The following day we took the luxury bus to Chiclayo ( I had an upset stomach, so we had to go all out for luxury).


Richard visited more ruins and I had to lie down on the bed all afternoon, watching TV. I did however, make it to the museum, before my stomach gave in. The museum displayed pieces from Lord Sipan's tomb. The museum didn't let you take photos, but it was probably one of the most amazing collections we have seen of gold and silver jewellery.

Two beautiful owls that Richard came across on the deserted path.
