Upon crossing the border from Ecuador to Perú, the landscape changes drastically. Everything has become a desert.
I begin traveling along the coast, happy to have sun and heat and dry and flat; a major change from the constant rain and elevation and wet of Ecuador.
After a couple days, I don't feel well. I figure it's from the change of climate and temperature and my body needs a few days to adjust. So, I stop in the little surf town of Máncora for a well-deserved rest.
Well, my anticipated 2-day rest for shopping, bike maintenance, and physical rest quickly turn into a major stop after I begin peeing blood my second night. Turns out that I have a major kidney/bladder infection... an unwelcome souvenir of the physical extremes I've been pushing.
No worries, some antibiotics and several more days rest have me up and biking again. South we go!
