amazing museum...gold


We start the day on a bus.. of to Chiclayo. THis only takes three hours, which goes quick enough. We then transfer to a local mini van for a 10km ride to Lambaque. Our focus for today is the Museam of Pisac.


We cant take phots inside, which is a real shame... cos this is one damn impressive museum!


It is all for the Grand master of Sipan, and his crypt, which was only rediscovered in 1987. Gold everywhere, and small jewlery with the most intricate of details. Blown away..


We are definitely in mission mode now, and decide to charge further North today. We hope to Mancora, but instead opt for 1 3 hour ride to Piura. Tjis bus ride is no fun at all. On the back seat which sits due upright, in pitch dark. I read my book by torch light.
Once in to town we find a cheap hostel and crash, not even leaving the room!
