Clouds of soot..
My first job to do wasn’t so superfluous, making the gasoline kitchen cooker on gasoline. When Trudy used this, you saw many times first black clouds of soot and when she finished the cooking, she has also black face and hands. Dirk who suits ever morning his red overall isn’t so black at all time, when he maintains his Model T.
Before we leave Dirk puts another generator on the model T because a crooked axle.
Meanwhile the sky is clear so we can go to the direction of Chan Chan, one of the biggest adobes, pre Columbian places in the world. An very impressive complex.
After this we drive through the old beautiful centre of Trujillo along the plaza des Armas. Also here local people help us the way through the labyrinth of little streets of the old city.
With the lowering sun we go through a fantastic landscape of sand dunes.
Just for Chimbote we go from the main way to the east into the mountains. We camp by a farmer in Rinconanda. We get from the farmer an enormous avocado to take as breakfast the next morning. Here we see that the people hold guinea pigs for eating. Here the women are definitely more traditional dressed and men are driving with horses and charts.
Before we went for sleeping, we were visited by a bunch of heavy armed police caps who wanted to make pictures from the model T and guaranteed us that we are on a safe place.
