Trujillo to Chachapoyas, Peru 🇵🇪

Sunday today and none of the museums are open which is a shame as my guide yesterday had told me about a good archeological one.  I wander around the city enjoying the colourful buildings and their grand doors.  The Plaza de Armas is busy with friends and families gathering for conversation, church or maybe lunch.  This is one of the things I like about South America, how lively and sociable these Plazas are regardless of the time of day. 

Tonight I have my first night bus to Chachapoyas, 13hrs long to arrive at 5am.  Needless to say I am not looking forward to it and prepare myself by having a big lunch.  I do get slightly squeamish at the type of meat in the soup, but it was tasty as was my mains of chicken and rice.  

The bus terminal is very new and grand, you have to pay 30p to get on the platform which I assume is slowly paying for it.  The bus itself is fine, good armchair style seat and footrest.  We move quickly up to Chicalayo, where they let us off for a 50minute break then we are settled in for the longer haul.  Winding our way up the windy roads to Chachapoyas.
