Another sunny day but with all the bike gear on not good unless you are moving. I managed to get the bike out of the lounge without doing any damage. Off to the bank. I think I have been conned with this cash card. No ATM fees if you with draw $300 or more. Someone did their homework as so far I have not found a machine that will give me more than $200!
I have managed to get a small cheap sports cam. Unfortunately it seems to have recorded every thing upside down. If I was recording constantly then its the right way up but if I want to record in minute sections then its upside down! I can easily mount it upsidedown the it should be th right way up.

A few trees but still desert

Paddy fields. I had just crossed a very dry river. This must be why.

The water was actually greener than the picture really shows.

Many more corners like this to go round. It’s not always easy to find somewhere to stop. Keeping hydrated is really an issue which I am working on. If you are in a car then you just have a drink as you go. On a bike you have to stop, park the bike up,get off, remove your helmet,open the panniers to get water out. Then reverse the process. I had wondered about a camel back. Maybe another time

It’s not really easy to get a picture of exactly where the road was going. Lost count of number of turns. At least on bike you have the power to overtake in a very short space. You just have to watch for buses and lorries taking the whole road to get round. It started to rain not long after. Again do you stop or hope that it won’t be much. I didn’t stop got wet but had dried before I reached the hotel. Partly because I had paid a lot of attention to the map about where the hotel was. It showed a small icon so I went looking for it. The icon was in wrong place so a good hour was wasted. However a found it and its a very nice new place. The owner was very proud of his cows which I had to go and photo them

They produce their own milk. They also have a winery so I had to go and sample the wine

Cajamarca cathedral . There is another on the opposite of the plaza
