Chimbote day2. New rear tire
The Peruvian newly weds I met back in Ecuador got in touch with a friend in Chimbote and arranged for him to help me find a tire. I appreciated his good work.He lead me to the tire shop and helped me get the new tire and tube.
We took the tire to a nearby shop and had it installed. I bought a Kenda
120/80-17 to replace the stock 130/70-17 CST.
I think it's a Kenda 761 but it was not written on the tire ?
Francisco then let me up a mountain overlooking the bay. Near the top of the mountain was the sanctuary called Iglesias del Cerro de la Juventud.
The view of the city and water was great!
Francisco explained that the White Island protecting the bay was white due a rich covering of bird poop.
We left the mountain for lunch in town. I had cerviche and lomo asado and I rally liked it.
