... undertake a bus change during our trip to Villa de Leyva and in my rush to get off the bus to use the facilities (yes, it is a regular occurrence for me during these bus rides) I left my beloved Panama hat on the luggage rack above the seats. By the time I realised I had left it behind we were already on another bus well on our way. It was very upsetting for me, I think I had the hat for nearly a month and we both had some great times together. Eugene received ...

... da su hodali sami ulicom (jedan je isao po noci kroz park). Ima dosta djece koja su odrasla na ulici. Oni uglavnom inhaliraju ljepilo te pljackaju okolo. Vidjela sam u stadionu u Medellinu klince kako se drogiraju, ali nikada nisam vidjela kako nekoga pljackaju ili bila u nekoj slicnoj situaciji. <br>Vojska je obavezna, ali ako platis 1000e, ne moras ici sto je totalna katastrofa uzeci u obzir sve siromasne ljude koji su prisljeni ici. Vojska traje 2 ...

... wir haben grade 10 Uhr abends) sind grade alle außer Mireya (die auf Julietta aufpasst) dahin gefahren. Und dass obwohl alle spätestens um 10 schon schlafen. Ich hab auch rausgefunden warum: Meine Gastpapa (er heißt José Omar) steht jeden morgen um halb 3 auf (@Hummi: Guck jetzt kenn ich jemand der noch ärmer dran ist als du!) und geht (soweit ich das verstanden habe) Zeitungen austragen. Weimar und Patricia helfen ihm ab und zu und das obwohl die ...

... Wer sie nicht kennt, Haggard ist eine deutsche Metalband, die aus einem riesen Orchester besteht und richtig gute Musik macht! Absolut sehenswert, vor allem Open Air und auf einer großen Bühne. <br>Die Woche über haben wir bei Kati gewohnt, die mittlerweile aus ihrem Zimmer im Verlag ausgezogen ist und bis zum Ende ihres Aufenthaltes ein eigenes kleines Minihäuschen in der Candelaria hat. Supergemütlich ...

The most feared city in the world! At least that´s what we had come to expect reading all the horror stories on the internet. Needless to say we were disappointed by the lack of gunfights from our taxi to the hotel, but most impressed with the fantastic weather, old-school america cars very friendly people and 80p beers. Our spanish vocab of ´Hola´ and ´Gracias´ is increasing ...

... from the cave, we once again heard the melodious sounds of Tears in Heaven, a la pan flute, and the rain continued to drizzle down.<br><br>Back in Bogota, we decided to go out for a night on the town. We had originally planned to take a ride on a chiva- a Colombian party bus, whose admission price included booze and admission to various bars and clubs... not so unlike the drunken trolly rides I´ve been on in San Francisco! Unfortunately, this had been cancelled due to rain, so ...

... I could see annoyed Maciek opening the bedroom door and shouting out loud to Paul. "What is this place, it is after 11:00 and any normal person would be asleep! If you want to play loud music why don't you play something Brazilian! However hilarious this was I understood Maciek and that everyone is entitled to be annoyed and tired after 12 hours on the bus and sleepless night. At that point Paul understood the message as well, turned down the ...

... a bit of a mission! At the moment I'm just putting in all the pictures I took in the last 6 years and step by step I will add the stories behind it. It might take me a while, but hopefully I will finish it soon. For now I'm in Africa and I'm trying to keep this travel log updated correctly. Hope you all having fun and enjoying your life and your travelling as much as I do! Take care Cyril (Alone)

... my imagination is likely to be doing overtime but let me know all the same?). Anyway, fortunately she spoke very good English, as I wasn´t really feeling up to diggin out my very rusty Spanish, after having been flying for nearly 13 hours and being so so tired (bit like now, which is why there may be a few typos in it!). I have to be back at the airport again in the early hours of tomorrow so I didn´t venture out into the streets of Caracas from my "high security" (they had ...

... a "taxi" sign on top of their car but are fakes and tourists get robbed. So far so good, touch wood, but I did catch a woman with her hand in the front pocket of my bag whilst getting on a very crowded underground train! Thankfully SamBil is very near our hotel, and continuing our "Tour of South America´s shopping Centres" (I think I will be able to write a book about the Shopping Malls of this continent when we get back!) we spent many hours wandering around it ...
