Awoke in Calendin to a beautiful day. Started the days ride a bit late, tried finding a cup of coffee however that didn't work out. They seem to like eating soup in the morning, without coffee. Even though the coffee served here is instant, getting them to boil water was difficult for some reason. A bottle of juice and I was good to go.

Rode down the coast and stopped into the coast village of Chicama. Most times when I stop someone wants to sit on the moto and have a photo taken. This guy was doing his best to look serious.
