We were able to work on our kayaks in Carlos' GT Store car tuning shop. Thanks!

Pos: here
Loc: Playa Catarindo just behind Mollendo
Acc: Hotel in Arequipa
Dist: 0 km

 

Tomorrow:
No paddling tomorrow!

The day was a usual city chores day – in the morning online work, some laundry, then gear check, food shopping (with a bit of sightseeing  of Arequipa to get to the supermarket), then again gear work, food packing…

It was actually a pleasure to be now in a Peruvian supermarket and to find again some interesting different food! The meal breaks on the water are important, and without variety in the food on offer it will get very boring!

After food shopping Carlos, his uncle Guillermo and mom Maybe took us to a typical Peruvian restaurant, where we had a late lunch/ early dinner.
The local food was delicious, and we had LOTS! We barely made it later up the second floor with all our food shopping…

 

Tomorrow will be some promotional work in their other shop in the mall with press, TV and autographs. We’ll have a touristic day on Sunday and will drive back late afternoon to “our” beach again where we will start again on the water!
