Travel to Casma

Travel to Casma

We drove 5 hrs+ to Casma. Lots of different landscapes. Busy, busy city; mountains with costal cliffs; mining desert; finally Casma. 
Snacks were a hit. Thanks grandma!! Travelling in luxury; double decker bus, with lots of leg room and big, comfy, leather bucket seats. '90s music for the first hour, then two movies (guilt trip and clash of the titans). 
We were told we would be getting lunch on the bus; chicken and potatoes. How are they going to manage that?
They have like an airplane style kitchenette on the bus!! We got chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes with seasoned white rice. Carmel fruit cake for dessert. Inca cola to drink (like a flat cream soda). It was great. 
Bus driver is amazing!! There are lines on the road but no one follows them. Few traffic lights. Skinny roads and lots of cars. I thought we would get into so many accidents. 
Cabs in Lima are these motor bikes with tents on the back! Really neat. 
Mothers day is really important in Peru. Families send their moms out for brunch; while they are gone, the family decorates to house and once the moms return, there is a big celebration. Because of this, balloons are sold on street corners; along with roses.
The view was amazing!!! Drove down the coast.
