The wild north of Colombia
... to be collapsing into the sea.
How the inhabitants of the little town of Manaure make a living today is a moot
point.
From Manaure it was a fair tar road from there
to Uribia then onto wide gravel road following an arrow straight railway line
to the north. As we drove alongside the raised railway line we were soon
encountering long freight trains much like those at home on the Sishen to
Saldanha iron ore line. But these huge trucks making up a train perhaps ...
Pyjamasbyxor och doft av sovmorgon
... Dels har vi ju bott så fint på Bula Bula och sen är det alltid jobbigt att byta ner sig igen, dels är det ungefär 40 grader här och i ett rum utan A/C blir det en smula hett.

For us, the Caribbean was generally something new and it exceeded our expectations. We found a real tropical paradise here. Although there are found several campsites where they also provide food, all ...
Lazy Taganga
... zich vooral door onverzorgde zanderige wegen, luide muziek, hippies, duikers en een mooi percentage aan geïntoxiceerde locals. Gaan deze mensen ooit slapen? Echt weer niet normaal wat hier aan alcohol en andere geestveruimde toestanden geconsumeerd wordt. Persoonlijk vond ik 'Taganga' niet echt een topper maar toch hangt hier een speciaal sfeertje in de lucht, een sfeertje dat ...
