We took our third night bus in a row and arrived into Chiclayo feeling somewhat worse for wear... Chris had an unfortunate bout of food poisoning and Spike's eyes were inflamed so we decided to take a short bus to Trujillo and hang out in Huanchaco, a beach resort, to convalesce. We arrived and sank, very thankfully, onto soft, real beds. Chris had a nap while Spike and I scouted out the town, observing a surfing competition and finding a restaurant that served pancakes (mmmmm). We spent the rest of the afternoon watching Planet of the Apes, drinking lots of water, and slowly recovering from our respective maladies (mine was grumpyitis caused by sleep deprivation).
We enjoyed the rest of our time in Huanchaco relaxing by the beach, sleeping in, and visiting some nearby pre-Incan ruins - a site called Chan Chan, with an internal lake, intricately carved mud walls and a picture postcard perfect view of Chris and Spike leaning against said walls. We took it very easy for three days, and subsequently all felt much better. On the fourth day, we took a taxi to Trujillo, explored the cathedral there and spent a long time in a cafe eating chocolate cake, playing cards, and waiting for our next night bus to Lima, which we caught without a hitch.
