From Ecuador to Peru

I should mention that im traveling with a bunch of backpackers from Quito to Santiago with the help of a local guide. Ive booked a few of these, the first one being Galapagos, the current being the second, then a Patagonia trip and finally my antarctic voyage. We finally managed to leave ecuador and now im in Mancora Peru. A tiny surfing town on the coast. Its sunny and warm, i spent the day on the beach reading...went for a jog...that kind of stuff. The trip here was exciting, it included a broken mini-bus in the Andes, restaurant staff running after us through a busy square, counterfeit money, and the "interesting" ecuador/peruvian boarder which is essentially 45km of no-mans land.
