3rd Oct - Lima to Mancora

The film... "Up" was on first thing in the morning after disgusting breakfast. Gas show! Landed in Lima around ten - a couple of hours early! The lads were heading on the 17hr bus up the coast to Mancora around 3pm and I said to hell with it, I'll just book on as well! So got a seat sitting beside them, was able to pay with the voucher I'd got from when my bus was cancelled due to the strike too, so all good!

 
We'd a few hours to kill and taxi driver advised to go to a place overlooking the sea. It turned out to be a rich shopping mall and it was indeed overlooking the sea!

 

From our breakfast table - overlooking the Pacific, pity it was so cloudy

While in the mall, we were advised to go to a place called Mango's for a breakfast buffet. It was S40 (about €10) and it was incredible. It's definitely the best buffet I've ever tasted. Fruit, fruit juices, cereal, eggs benedict, steak, yogurt and a million other things including a lad who'd cook omelettes in front of you! It was simply beautiful. And the view was excellent too! Great call to go there!

 

Best buffet ever


Rob, Matt, Rich, Me - best buffet ever

Best buffet ever included fruit + chocolate covered strawberries!
 
Overlooking the Pacific after the best buffet ever - I appear to be badly in need of a haircut

Headed back to catch bus at 3pm and over the next few hours we were "treated" to the following:

 
  • Furry Vengeance - horrendous rubbish.
  • The Blind Side - brilliant book, poor film. How on earth did Sandra Bullock win an Oscar for this!?
  • 28 dresses - don't hate myself enough so refused to watch this scutter.

 
... and bus bingo of course - highlight of the day! 3 way tie for the victory speeches but none of us lads were involved!
