So........ my bag was stolen and we headed to the capital...Bogota, to sort out a new passport at the embassy. Expecting a dirty, sprawling city we were pleasantly suprised when we arrived at the sue hostal ( which would become the closest thing to home since we had left). Situated in the older part of the city, spanish colonial style buildings, colourful streets dotted with murals and some amazing graffiti aswell as cool places to hang out we had landed ourselves a chilled little home while we waited for my passport. We spent a few days wandering the streets around the area, some great flee markets and art museums. We had a little taste of colombian art, when we went to the botelo museum, loads of repulsive paintings of really fat people.nice. but they seem ... read more

After our stay in Cartagena next up was Santa Marta in on the Caribbean coast. There were a few reasons for us to decide to come here. First was the tour to Ciudad Perdida (the lost city) which is in the middle of nowhere in deep jungle, like the name suggests. Built between the 11th and 14th century and then the people wiped out in the 16th century when the Spanish arrived. The trip takes a total of 7 days to hike there and back. After looking into it we decided to leave it as the pictures we looked at didn’t look brilliant and the cost of 115 pounds each was a bit pricey, it used to be 75, which we would have done. Our second reason was to do some more diving. We decided to ... read more

Bussimatkan Santa Martaan piti kestää kolme ja puoli tuntia, mutta jotenkin se venyi taas melkein viiteen tuntiin. Tuttu juttu, ei haittaa menoa. Perille päästyämme tarkoitus oli suunnata suoraan läheiseen kalastajakylään Tagangaan. Taksikuski yritti tiukasti saada meitä kyytiinsä, mutta ei suostuttu, vaan kyseltiin mistä lähtisivät kollektiivibussit. Ne lähti ihan vierestä, joten jäätiin venailemaan. Taksikuski tuli kohta sanomaan, että meitä ei otettaisi kyytiin, koska meillä oli liian isot reput. Ollaan aikaisemminkin samoilla hiaceilla menty, eikä silloinkaan ole ollut ongelmia, joten annettiin ahneen taksikuskin sanomisten olla. Parin ohi ajaneiden hiaceiden jälkeen alettiin kuitenkin jo miettiä, oltiinko me ei-toivottuja asiakkaita, mutta seuraava sitten jo ottikin kyytiin. Tagangaan saavuttuamme lähdettiin etsimään hostellia. Parin huonon paikan jälkeen tavattiin kadulla eräs ... read more
