Strandtag in Máncora

In Máncora at 5 a.m. we are all woken up and get off the bus. It is still dark, but the way to the hotel is not far. In terms of hygiene standards, I have had much better hotels, but on the other hand, I have also had worse ones. We treat ourselves to another 3 hours of sleep and then meet up for breakfast on the beach - our beach clothes already in our luggage. We spend the rest of the day as "beach days" should: alternating between sun, sea and shade. The only difference is that here the menu also includes açaí bowls, coconut water straight from the coconut and ceviche. I share the latter with Callie at sunset on the beach, simply beautiful!

Since tomorrow is Sophie's birthday, we meet later on the roof terrace by the hotel pool and spend the evening playing games and wearing face masks before ending the evening quite early. Firstly because of the previous short and less restful night on the bus and secondly because of the upcoming next evening. Good night!
