Day v : More Maintenance, a Visit to Mancora and Another Night-Bus

Another part of the process of checking the park is to take voltage readings from the batteries and various other systems, unfortunately we didn't have a voltmeter so another trip to Zorritos was in order.

Unfortunately we couldn't find one there, even after 30mins of walking up and down the main road. But thankfully we had a breakthrough when one of Snr. Abel's friends in the town near to the hotel knew where we could find one.

After heading back and picking it up, observing various readings, I decided to leave the guys to it and head south to the nearby beach town of Mancora, beloved by gringos and Peruvians alike, before getting the night bus back to Trujillio in time for the start of the program.

It took about an hour to get down to Mancora, my first stop was an excellent Mexican restaurant on the recommendation of Fernando, the massive serving of beef enchiladas certainly hit the spot. After that I walked around the town full of bars, shops and of course a great beach - I will defiantly have to suggest a weekend trip up here to the other volunteers. Then, after killing a few hours with some beers and a trip to an Internet cafe I boarded the night bus back to Trujillo very keen to get started on a wind turbine of my own.
