... cross your path at night, it´s ok, you didn´t imagine it.

The next morning we went diving for the first time in a year. Nicki was a little nervous but I was eager to get back into it again. As soon as we´d dropped off the boat into the warm water I got excited about what we´d see. There were nurse sharks in the area, stingrays, turtles and all manner of other fish, and who knows what would reveal itself. As I sank into the water breathing slowly through my regulator, a whole new ...

... genommen sind gerade dieses Dinge wichtig, um einen aus dem ueblichen Leben auch ein wenig rauszureissen und "runterzuholen" Was ist schon eine Dusche. Ein Sprung ins Meer tuts auch. Und danach das Salz auf der Haut ist einfach wunderbar.
Die letzten Tage haben wir auf der anderen Seite der Insel gewohnt. Ganz im Norden, in einem kleinen Haus gleich am Meer. Das Gebiet heisst Ensuenos und ist nur ueber einen engen, jetzt nach dem Hurricane ziemlich abenteuerlichen Fussmarsch ...

... warens Soldaten? Keine Ahnung) mit ihren Maschinengewehren fielen ein wenig unangenehm auf. Sie waren freundlich. Aber ein komisches Gefuehl hat man schon, neben so grossen Gewehren... Wie immer waren auch die Immigration und Customs Declaration auszufuellen - auch so eine Sache die wir EU-Menschen nicht mehr wirklich gewohnt sind... Aber naja, geht zwar mit der Zeit auf den Geist, aber man will ja schliesslich die Alina sehen ;-)
Jedenfalls sind wir dann gegen 8 ...

We arrived at our hotel; Casa Harb. It used to be someone's home so there are only about 5 rooms here. The place is a nice retreat from the craziness of town. Our first night we had an excellent meal at La Regatta. This restaurant is at the end of the dock and the view was as good as the food (although pricey). Colombia is definitely not cheap, and this island ...

... nice being able to chat to Gabriel in English. We stopped for lunch with some locals, a local fish dish with lime served up with coconut rice, fried plantain and salad. It had been a while since I'd eaten fish and it did not disappoint. In the afternoon I relaxed on the beach and went for a swim in the crystal clear sea. The pace of life certainly made for a change from the mad dash around of the last couple of weeks. - David

... a few hours of landing on big corn. what a dirty, smelly, and unfriendly place. it could be stunning. think beaches of white sand surronded by turquoise waters.... but there is so much rubbish its outstanding! the people are not at all welcoming, and you dont feel safe at all, been recommended to take taxis round the entire island which you could walk in about 4 hours if you wanted. gutted, but in hope that little corn would be better we waited for the ...

Beautiful Place. Perfect temperatures. Our hotel is (very) far from being a Palace but the view is worth millions!!! Sorry for the short story but I am too busy doing nothing or swimming with rays... The 18th, we went around the island but the weather was as if a hurricane must be having fun close by. The wind and rain are impressive and there was no possibility to swim. At least, I will not get sunburn. Let's hope the plane will be able to take off tomorrow. Next stop, Santa Marta.

... and is located along the third largest barrier reef in the world. There are tons of water activities to do on the island. I went on a semi-submergable glass bottom boat, went snorkelling and tried scuba diving for the first time. Scuba diving was amazing. It was a bit scary at first, particularly after watching the training video, which used the visual of a ballon popping to demonstrate what would happen ...

... to beach. I strolled out during the morning when it was still relatively cool. The third beach--Playa Manzanilla--was by far the prettiest. It was a long strip of white sand nestled between to forested headlands. Backed by palm trees, I managed a ride from a girl on a moped who was headed to the beach. Time passed quickly before I decided to make the trip back to town (Aguadulce). The girl worked at the wooden clapboard bar that fronted the sea ...

... the onward flight to Medellin from San Andres. The airport is a regional hub and the nuts are loose of course. The blacks may be the majority and English-speaking, but they don’t run the airport, so if you don’t speak Spanish, you’re at a disadvantage, especially when planes are coming and going and people are wandering all over the tarmac to get to their planes, hopefully the correct one. After mine took off, a meal was served, and the ...
