Costa Del Sol Cartagena

... scattered in various places on the boat. As I didn't have any sea sickness pills I tried Nurofen and drinking again but nothing was working so by 8.30 in the evening I was in bed.<br><br>The next morning I woke up feeling a whole lot better and walked out on the deck to dolphins swimming with the boat which was pretty amazing and a big booster to moral on board! Having spent the day on the deck in the sun listening to tunes and seeing another school of dolphins ...

... Peru and Bolivia in particular.<br><br>Omri arranged for all of us to go take a boat the following day out to some island. There were the two of us, the two boys, the Liverpudlians and two Dutch girls. The touts must have seen dollar signs coming a mile off. We got to the port and had to muscle our way through them all. All of them wanting our business and shouting different figures at us, pushing us this way and that ...

... shortly after. The trip cost us $40mil pesos each, nothing for Niamh because she was sharing a seat with Jody. We are looking at saving what we can. <br><br>As it turned out the collectivo wasn't full so there was no need to share. We picked up some passengers from the modern tourist hotels in the beach area and then headed on the road to Barranquilla. The mud baths were about 50kms away. It took us about an hour, there were frequent reasons to slow down, lots ...

... sailing the same route for years, carrying tourists and what I was happy to know<br>because 'they are the captains to choose with whom to work in order to haven't nasty surprises during the crossing. <br><br>the whole trip was awesome, the captan Pedro was very funny also the others travellers, in total we was 8 people,<br>san blas islands are a kind of paradise and Cartagena a very modern city were you can find everything....<br><br>

... enough to cover all your bits from view.... :S!<br><br>This experience certainly deserved an entry all for itself and I have about 50 photos of my time there.... which I didn´t actually take myself as when you arrive someone takes your camera and basically spends the whole time photographing you.... it´s like being at a wedding having your photo taken from every angle... except for the mud obviously!<br><br>You have to go there.... it´s just so odd! lol<br><br>

... follow my imagination better. The long unkempt curly hair with shades of grey, the large plastic frame on his nose, the self-aggrandizing smile on his wet lips, his tailormade ruby suit, his laid-back posture, the wrinkles, the restlessly bouncing feet, that kind of things. I have to eleborate more in order to make you feel and think about it. All that pseudo-intellectual rant - what do I want to say here - that so called deep talk about the great questions: Why do we talk? Why we hold ...

... br>Friday March 06th<br><br><br>START: 14120km<br><br>FROM: Chiclayo (PER)<br><br>TO: Piura (PER)<br><br>FINISH: 14334 km<br><br><br>Using our favourite navigation technique of giving a cabbie 2 bucks and asking him to guide us out of the city we leave the unremarkable Chiclayo and continue North toward Piura. Just a short 200 kilometre haul today with no outstanding landscape to hurtle through... so time to reflect on the other vehicles that make their way around on the national road ...

... herumgetrieben sind. Wellen die mit voller Wucht ins Boot gekommen sind haben doch meine mitreisenden Gringos (eine aus Australien und eine aus Schottland) sehr verärgert....ich hab mir da nicht so den Kopf gemacht denn ich war mir doch sicher das wir nicht untergehen.... Hab also 3 Nächte am Strand in meiner Hängematte geschlafen und einfach mal nur relaxt....war super!!! Wieder zurück sind wir zu dem Sogenannten ...

A beautiful place. Wish we could come back in 20 years when we have lots and lots of money. The historic centre is full of swank restaurants, jewellers, and fashion shops that cater to the rich tourist pensioners, away on a week-long group tour of the city and walking around in single file with a conspicuous tour headphone set ...

... Columbia, one thing I forgot to mention for you jewelry lovers is that last Monday was the grand opening of the new Columbian Emeralds store on the Sun. So far I've managed to keep the wife distracted whenever we pass it on deck 7, but there are still 12 days to go and I don't know how much longer that's going to work. Anyway, we were back sooner than expected so things onboard were quiet. We had the gym almost to ourselves and there were no lines in the Garden Café for lunch ...
