Trujillo and Huanchaco, Peru and Oceano

We had booked accommodation and on arrival, they raise the price. We decided that since it was only 8 a.m. we would have some breakfast and found a super-clean cafe called Oceano.

We headed to the Mall Adventure Plaza.  Well, my son was in heaven! He has so missed the western culture, and it had every western brand fast food he could desire.

It also had a great superstore -“Tottus”-  in which we have shopped before. He is madly collecting Turbo Snails, and they had 50% off their packs, so he bought a giant pack to add to his collection.

We then left for what we thought was a mid-day show. It turned out to be 1:30 pm for the Peruvian Paso Horse Show. That was fine, as it was a grand place, and so we enjoyed racing his new snails and having some Mum and son time together.

We were first to seat for the show – so front row it was. It was quite cold, and the owner came and donned my boy with a poncho.

Next, he was able to feel one of the young horses. I loved the tenderness of the horse trainers.

We loved the show.  This rider has to pour and ride with a glass of Pisco, the local drink, without spilling a drop. He was of course perfect.

Next came the dancers. There were about 5 different sets to their show and included several riders, horses, and even a little boy.

We had a variety of entertainment including cape riding, javelin stick throwing amongst other things.

They were so fast and skilled. Weaving between marks and making figure 8’s.

The final show was incredible. It was definitely a fun-filled afternoon.

We were then invited to meet and have photographs with the team.

To finish off a great afternoon, Explorason had a ride.  It was about now that I realized he was too old to be “led” on a horse.

Back to the Mall, as he wanted Pizza for dinner. We felt like we were back in Australia. We filled our trolley with vegetables as we decided it was time to cook, and they had a kitchen.

One problem with long-term travel is the lack of kitchen – we are craving green vegetables. So we were pretty loaded up when we took the local bus back to the Guest House.

We were led to our room. Charlie Brown and his lovely wife, Hope, helped us with our bags. We had an en-suite. From the window, we could see a little plaza in one direction, and the sea in the other direction. The room was squeaky clean.

I have never met such lovely friendly hosts as at the Oceana Hospedaje.
If you are coming to Trujillo, please stay here.
You will NOT be disappointed!
