The
day got an early start and I was up and at La Gringa hostel by 7 ready for our
pick up. We sat and chatted while we waited for the van which finally arrived
and we got packing. Boards on the roof, wetsuits in a bag and all 6 of us
inside. We all planned to get some sleep in the van but were chatting more
instead.

We
got to Puerto Chicama sooner than expected but were happy to get some breakfast
before hitting some waves. We got our boards down and suited up before taking a
walk down to the beach where we made our way out. The swell wasn't the greatest
but at least there were no rocks underfoot and they broke regularly at the same
place which made them a little easier to read. We were out for about 3 hours
before calling the session over and making our way to the van and grabbing some
lunch (and beer).

We
then made our way out in a different spot for another hour or so before calling
it a day. By this stage my body was killing me so I didn't have much choice in
the matter. We packed up the van and headed back to Huanchaco and this time we
all passed out very soon after getting into the van.

As
we entered Huanchaco we were greeted with the most amazing sunset leaving the
sky full of pinks, reds and oranges. We unpacked the van and I made my way home
to have a shower and grab something to eat before going to La Gringa for quiz
night and more drinks.

I
eventually got back home at about 12 before calling it a night as I need to
work in the morning.
