http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Colombia/Taganga/ Travel adventures in journals and photos from South America , Colombia , Taganga en-us Thu, 15 May 2008 13:46:16 BST Thu, 15 May 2008 13:46:16 BST We were looking forward to chilling out on the beach of the Caribean coastline of Colombia. BUT..... Yvonne's coughing got so bad that we had to go to hospital again. It turned out to be pneumonia. She was hospitalized straight away 48 hours of anti biotics through a drip loads of pain and difficult communications later she checked herself out of the hospital. This tough cookie was not having it http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Colombia/Taganga/blog-275519.html So when I said in my last entry that there would be photos coming...I lied. They arent coming...ever. I encountered my first and hopefully only piece of bad luck 2 days ago. I was at Tayrona National Park and decided to go for a walk on the beach. I found a big rock and sat down and with my camera still being new decided to play around with it and try to get to know it better. One mispl http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Colombia/Taganga/blog-274519.html Another update...we are in Taganga which is about 510 minutes just outside of Santa Marta which is on the northern coast. To recap the last week or so in San Gil we decided to just go white water rafting and do the paragliding in Medellin. We did a full day of white water rafting and went through numerous class 5 rapids. Due to the water levels we were told that the water was as severe http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Colombia/Taganga/blog-273616.html I really had no idea that Colombia would be so beautiful lively cultured and modern at the same time. I had a vague idea about Bolivia even though it turned out to be so much more but thinking back I don't remember seeing any images or descriptions of Columbia before coming here I guess the world is just discovering it.I spent another few days in Taganga and another few nights in El Garage bef http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Colombia/Taganga/blog-238468.html
