... to be amazing but Devin wasn&#8217;t planning on doing any diving so we had a natural juice, made lunch, then hit the road again.<br><br>We made our way further North towards a National Park that we knew had camping. National Park Tayrona is said to have one of the prettiest beaches in Colombia and we were both really looking forward to it. The landscape started to change into ...

... Southern Fulmar, etc.) were mysteriously absent, the birds we saw made up for the absence of any of the others. Angie got her first (lifer/newfie) albatross, petrel, shearwater, and skua today. Salvin´s Albatross were common in the current, and on our way back in to port the very large Royal Albatross (with 11.5 ft wingspan) zipped past the boat, giving brief but good views. The ugly and menacing ...

... begeisterter Host bei Couchsurfing und hat niemenden abgewiesen, der ihn für die karnevalswoche um eine Unterkunft gebeten hat. Aber so etwas habe ich noch nicht erlebt - die Schulköchin hat für uns alle gekocht: Rühreier zum Frühstück, Tamales (typisch kolumbianische Spezialität), frische Säfte, Sandwiches, wir wurden echt gut versorgt. Selbst Aguardiente (ein milder Anisschnaps) hat er uns spendiert! Dazu kam, dass er uns die ganze Zeit über in seinem Auto zu allen Paraden, zum ...

... much plastic surgery here. We had heard that this was the case but I thought it must be a myth because I didn't really notice any. Then I talked to a girl who looked about 17 but was actually 28. I couldn't tell it was surgery but apparently she's had it 15 times already. I have also heard that this is quite normal. Once we ended up in a gay-bar, although you couldn't really tell since, for carnival, it was packed full of all manner of people spilling out into the streets. We had ...

... always a bit of a rant. I tried a few more times, even telling her that I really couldn't understand, but she was never able to communicate to me what was happening. I then asked if she could write it down, as between her accent and both our frazzled minds, nothing was making sense. She then just said "At least another hour late!" Still not much help, but at least it was something. So this is where things could have turned REALLY bad. I started to ...

... on my face, and laughed and giggled with Lili. Giving her a kiss on her clean face, I left some mud-marks on her nose, and chin. I was very happy to be there with her. They told us that the volcano mud reached a depth of 2,300 meters; the positive earth energy that I felt in the mud, in the cauldron of the mud-volcano was very deep, very gentle, one could hardly notice it, if it were not for the effect it had on one's state of feeling. We got out after a while ...

... meetings (so nothing too taxing right now!). I have really enjoyed this semester-I've met some fantastic people and am really looking forward to the next one!But for now I'm enjoying having more free time on my hands to get out and about. So all I've been doing up until now is marking exams and going to the occasional weekend soiree, the latest of which was two fabulous Halloween ...

... at which point I crashed. This weekend was as disorienting (lack of sleep) as it was fun (breaking down the barriers of sleep and taking over those usually-lost hours). Really good weekend. When I got back to Santiago I barely remember the half hour metro ride or walk back to my house, aside from a few pictures I took ("faulty camera in my head"). I think I rolled out of bed at about 2pm again, racking up a solid 6 hours of sleep for the weekend. I'm slowly realizing ...

... here to enjoy the lack of smog and sand between the toes. As far as beaches go, the Gold Coast it ain´t. Just ten km away from Vina Del Mar is Chile´s largest port town, Valparaiso, which maintains a great vibe despite the mess of cargo containers and rusty boats scattered on the edge of the ocean. A day spent walking around Valparaiso actually revealed a bohemian side to the old town, with streets lined with colourful houses spraypainted with tasteful graffiti art and some ...

www.volunteersecuador.com We headed over the andes (again). Pay attention to this photo as theres a similar one coming up with a fun but not too tricky "Spot the Difference" competition. Another one of those bloody lovely mountain passes, passing Aconcagua the highest mountain in S.A. - not sure if I saw it to be honest, lots of big mountains ...
