Cartegena Independence Day

... times and took taxis so luckily we didn´t have any problems.<br><br>We planned to do 2 days seeing the city and its famous old town then going on down the coast. Well the first bit worked fine, we walked around the walled city, it has some charming back streets and good views of the old walls. We also took a trip out to some mud baths that we had heard about. It was an amazing experience, the mud 'baths' were actually just a pit in the top of a volcano that you were ...

The journey begins

The day as finally arrived to begin our 6 month break, away from the damp, wet climate of Mid Wales. The plan is to drive from here to Portsmouth to catch the Pride of Bilbao ferry bound for Bilbao, a journey that takes about 36 hours. The only part to worry about is the crossing across the ...

Wine Free for All!!!

We didn't have any plans for Cartagena. None of the excursions that HAL had planned sounded exciting and when we researched things to do in Cartagena, nothing looked appealing. So I went in search of plentiful cheap wine to stock up for the long ocean crossing to come (I hate paying the exorbitant prices for alcohol in bars and restaurants)&#8230; <br><br>So I found a supermercado in Cartagena with excellent prices and a good selection of wine. I ended up buying 9 ...

North Columbia

... the beach and before we'd even stepped out of the car there was a crowd of people waiting for us. They were selling sunglasses, watches, hats, clothes, massages, pedicures, deckchairs, you name it! They walked along side us all the way up the beach until we found somewhere to sit. There was one lady who walked along side me trying to sell me a hair wrap, me with my short hair!!! I was trying to explain to her that I ...

Day 66 - Cartagena - Happy as Pigs in Mud

... any more. We reluctantly climbed out and headed down to the nearby lagoon where there were half a dozen ladies waiting to help wash off the mud. The lagoon floor showed evidence of the many previous visitors, the mud oozed between your toes.<br><br>We returned to our collectivo to dry off and change. This is when you realize that nothing is free. We had to pay $4mil pesos to the massagers,$2mil pesos to the cameraman, and $8mil pesos to the water ladies ($2mil ...

Day 41 - Lemonade

... no choice we planned to cycle 5 miles down the motorway to get to the next town (no other option mum, blame the Spanish for poor project management and wasting money on statues of imaginary people)<br><br>Highlights: <br>We asked someone watering there garden for water and she took us into her house and gave us threee unopened botttles of mineral water.<br><br>we made lemonade from liberated lemons and water.<br><br>Lowlights:<br>The lemonade tasted like ****<br>

Romancing the stone

... maze of traps designed to catch the enemy!<br><br>The weather has been humid and generally stormy everyday, but you soon get used to getting wet and then drying off whilst sitting in one of the many plazas and watching the world go by. I really like it here but will very soon have to move on again to ensure I make the most of my time.<br><br>Colombia overall is so laid back and the ...

Because we had over stuffed ourself we then went and relaxed by the pool for the rest of the day.<br><br>On the evening we decided that we were going ...

Busy week in Cartagena

... Inside the mud-crater are a few guys that push you and pull you between places, because it's near impossible to move and give you mud-massage. To be perfectly honest, those guys didn't really look (or feel) like the massage giving type - it was more of a mud-rub for a couple of minutes - and photos taken of the process by other men working at the top of the volcano, outside of the crater. It was all pretty weird, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world ...
