Hostal Techos Azules Taganga

Well I was quite a bit as I left Cartagena and went onto Taganga where I herd you can do cheep diving courses. Got there and actually managed to arrange a course prior to me actually finding a place to stay!<br><br>Completed my PADI open water diving course and liked it so much I then went onto complete my Advanced open water course (which I have just finished) <br><br>I have now stayed in one place for the longes time since I met my Friends in Brazil (4 months ago!) Time to move on again!

... she<br>managed at least 11 in the time i was sitting there with her... <br><br>"what is the best of your bagettes",<br><br>"bahia concha", the petit doll like waitress laughs as walking past<br><br>"why is everyone laughing when they say concha?" having been to<br>Playa Concha and having the same reaction when the name of the beach<br>was told to me is what spawned this question. Now, it is always more ...

... dropped off at the park entrance and had a good 2 hr. hike into the hot humid rain forest that boarders the Caribbean Coast. Mike carried a pack with our tent and food. I carried only water and my clothes....Mike rocked. Our hike had different encounters with nature.... leaf cutter ants (video) men walking carrying fresh caught bonito (which I think is named due to its beautiful blue color), vines hang from trees, monkeys at the tops of palm trees, and an ...

... smijali jer nitko od nas nije mogao spavati zbog glupih komaraca (a nikakvi sprejevi ili kreme nisu pomogli). Ujutro je napokon bilo malo bolje samo sto su nas onda pocele napadati muhe i mene macka koja me grebala po guzici :D <br><br>Drugu noc spavala sam u kucici u hammocku jer mi se nije dalo mucit s komarcima. Tamo je bilo malo hladnije i malo naseljenije tako da sam spavala uz Izraelca kojeg nikada u ...

We eventually got going around 8-00 which was later than I had hoped but as events panned out was plenty of time. It took us barely 10 minutes to get to La Casona de Getsumi from where we would catch our collectivo, even though we were weighed down with all our gear. The streets were lively, more so that I had seen them. People were on the move, arriving from slums on the outskirts of the city, shops getting deliveries, the police were out in force as usual. On leaving our apartment room ...

... br>Taganga was aptly referred to in lonely planet as ¨gringo paradise.¨ It was a small fishing village and now is completely dependent on the tourist economy, most of whom are of the backpacker variety, ie Europeans and Israelis (there are even menus and restaurant signs in Hebrew). Even though the high volume of travelers is annoying, it was nice to have some of the creature comforts that we´ve missed, like vegetarian food, menus ...

... busses and eating and such takes MUCH longer than two people. I think we left at 10am and didnt arrive at the campsite until 4pm... aye!<br><br>However, when we got there, it was more of AYEAYEAYEAYEAYE! QUE LINDO!!! Here´s a link to the park, since I still can´t upload my pictures. SOOOOO GORGEOUS! <br><br>http://www.panoramio.com/photo/ 144728<br><br>we stayed at a campsite where we got the last three hammocks, and I stayed in the ...

... strong enough to make the swim enjoyable. Unfortunately, what I like to call the "Disneyland" scenario took place here; that is they can charge whatever they like for their food and give you bad service, because you are hungry and there is no place left to go. We waited an hour to get our overpriced food, with a good half hour waiting on the sand because there were no seats. We were upset we had missed so much of our day trying to get food and ...

I was looking for something to do on my birthday and found the secluded beaches of Parque Tayrona on Colombia's Caribbean coast to waste away a few days. Although not that far from Cartagena, the park is not the easiest place to get to. Three buses, a taxi and a 7.5km walk were required to get to the beautiful stretch of ocean. Unfortunately, the weather was less than perfect with ...

It was set in a beautiful cove which softened the rough waves of the Caribbean.<br><br>With not much to do in town, Fiona and I walked over the hills to a small beach where we met up with some French friends from Cartagena and quickly scanned around to find ...
