28/3 A room with a view (of dolphins)

We only booked in for 2 days at the hostel and the constant noise and dust of the building project have been an annoyance. There are only 3 toilets and 3 showers (only 1 hot) and the walls are paper thin. So we went for a stroll down the beachfront and signed up for a delightful room with a balcony up on the 2nd floor facing straight out over the bay over the palm trees. There it all is . . the fishing fleet, the speedboats, the tugs and the dolphins. Yes DOLPHINS. All day leaping and splashing. J fell asleep watching them. There is even a covered rooftop above us with chairs and tables with an even better view. All this for $25 a day including desayuno (brekky). The deciding factor was when we saw the sign on the bedroom door (wait till the pic is posted).
Room name and my new Alpaca hat

View over bay and restaurants

We made our own lunch again, strolled up to buy a bus ticket for Friday to Lima, walked back along the beach collecting pelican feathers. There was a largish, deceased sealion there on the beach. Phew that was where we turned around.
Another beautiful sunset


It's a very comfortable and attractive place. It never rains so there is no water hence no mosqitoes. Very few flies. There is hardly a wind but the air moves gently around us. It seems to be permanently body temperature around the clock. We changed restaurants tonight and had 2 course meals. Ceviche then fried rice with seafood; and fish soup then fried fish n chips. Not gourmet but very pleasing.
