I arrived to Trujillo mid-afternoon. I'm quite excited to take a shower and nap after several days of pushing through the desert.
I cycle into the center of town and find a reasonably priced hotel, but the room in on the seventh floor. I take the room and start lugging my heavy bike and gear up the narrow stairs.
I take a wonderful shower, the first in several days. Even though it's only lukewarm, it feels amazing. While showering, I wash my two changes of bike clothes and set them out to dry.
I've been told there's some interesting ruins outside of town. I'm exhausted and decide to take a nap before exploring any more.
After a nap, I jump on the bike (always a little weird to ride around without all the gear) and quickly cycle to 10 km to the ruins of Chan Chan. I arrive to find the ruins closed for the day. But, I can't resist trying to enter... I start cycling through the massive complex in the desert as the sun sets.
