Hurraz-a-ma-taz!

So i split from Hurraz and caught a rather shitty night bus to Trujillo. This night bus didnt have AC and the fuckin Peruvians got mad everytime i opened the window...apparently they are really keen on a hot stuffy bus that lacks proper air circulation. Anyways, I slept like a champ, probably because i was surfing earlier in the day fighting that mean spirited Humbolt current. I arrived in Trujillo and caught a collectivo to Huancho a chill nearby fishing village. I droped my stuff off at a hostal because I was hell bent on taking another night bus for Hurraz that night. I met some other travelers who just left Mancura, along with some people that i met in Banos Equador, then it dawned on me that they dont call this the Gringo Trail for nothing. So i ended up chillin with some cool cats from Holland. We went to town and bought our tickets for Hurraz and had lunch, then i split to see the ruins of Chan Chan. Chan Chan is a huge mud brick city...never seen anything like it..it streched out for miles. Then went back to Huanchaco to grab my shit and head for Trujillo to catch my night bus, which had AC/TV with movies/ and some nice reclining chairs, their was even a chick serving food and drink on the bus, well worth the extra $5.
So now im in Hurraz but my first day i got seriously sick to my stomach...not sure what it was, but ive been in bed for the past 24hrs puking/sleeping. I feel better 2 day, but i feel so week. I havent heard from Ed (a friend in Cuzco) but im thinking about doing multi-day trecking in the nearby Cordilla Blanca. A massive mountain range that boasts 50 mountains over 5000meters and 22 over 6000meters, it is 2nd only to the Hymillayas north of India. So 2day ill take it easy, but tomorrow ill be up for some kinda adventure activity, not sure if ill do some ice climbing on a nearby glacier, some canyoning, or just a chill little bus ride through the countryside to soak up the views of these amazing mountains. After the tranquillity of the mountains here ill be off for the chaos of Lima.
