We arrived at Salavery this morning a tiny port and shanty town for Trujillo the second largest City in Peru.
It has about 1 mill. pop.We did a short tour of Chan Chan Palaces a restored 1300 AD city of over 60000 people spread over 28 Sq. km. Vey well worth while but Trujillo just a sandy rocky mountainous area at the foot of the Andes mountain range.
These are some photos from our visit to the equator and the middle of the world.
Gloria with 1 foot either side of the equator at the Middle of the World and both of us at the real site one on either side.
An example of how water goes straight down the plug on the equator and how the water will swirl in different directions either side of the equator.
Standing an egg upright on the head of a nail.
Welcome home by the crew on our return from Quito! What a hoot!
Well tomorrow is our big journey to Machu Picchu so there will be no post for a few days.
We are looking forward to this trip and are preparing for the additional altitude but having spent 2 days at 9500 ft. another 2000 should not be too bad. Hope everyone is well, thanks for the emails and we'll talk soon.
Glad you've adjusted to altitude so far. You should be right for the next leg too. Love your pix can't wait to see more. Keep having fun xo
