La Ballena Azul Hotel Taganga

... when someone speaks to you in another language as you feel like a 12 year old learning the new knowledge, she told me in spanish what concha is, with added actions.....I am guessing that it is a euphamism for a womans personal attributes and the reason being is that she placed her hand, whilst speaking, somewhere where the sun only shines after a preporatory 9 month romantic interlude.....her name is Maria.

... Hostel &amp; taking a walk on the beach our opinions quickly changed. The hostel was only five minutes from the beach, had a good swimming pool and air conditioning. On our first evening we went for dinner down by the beach front, dinner was lovely but whatever Pa and Steve ate didn't go down too well. Over the next 2-3 days the boys spent their time between the bed and the toilet. Brian was delighted and had no pity, his day will come soon though. <br><br>As the two sick ...

Sexy Women, Salsa, and Sub woofers.....Taganga, Colombia (on or way to Tayrona Park)<br>So Mike didn´t dive into the description of Colombian women...THEY ARE SEXY!!! While in Santa Marta heading to Tayrona National Park (beaches on the coast) our taxi blasted salsa music as I stuck my head out the window like some happy dog with her tongue hanging out. Nearly every house had their set of sub woofers (dog analogy continued) and the music and energy were hovering ...

Iz Medellina smo se Kets (Englez porijeklom Indijac i ja) zaputili u Cartagenu, ali smo se na kolodvoru predomislili jer je 8 Iraca krenulo za Santa Martu pa smo im se pridruzili. Iz Santa Marte otisli smo do Parka Tayrona, nacionalnoga parka na Karipskome moru u Kolumbiji. Nakon sat vremena taksija (koji se non stop kvario, tj. pregrijavao) koji smo platili 8 dolara, ulaz u nacionalni park bio je 16 dolara ...

... had taken a slightly different route to Christie and the children and I bumped into Antonio the apartment owner. In a few words we said our goodbyes, exchanged a strong handshake as if we were friends who had known each other for a long time, and I gestured where I had left the keys. Antonio seemed to us to be a very warm, friendly Cartagenian. <br><br>We dropped our bags in the hotel, prearranged with Pedro the hotel receptionist, and walked the 50 metres or so to the resturant we had ...

... in English, etc...oh, and clean toilets with plenty of toilet paper. <br><br>The Hostal de Felipe is really nice! I even shared a fillet minon with another traveler we met! They have a great patio and decently priced food. People typically party there or go down to the beach where there is a club that overlooks the water. We checked out that club and danced til 3 in the morning to a mix of techno, pop music, and more techno. <br ...

... with my friend. The campsite was kind of a Euro-Israeli party,. and I can say that I did not get that much sleep. But the next day we were just going to lay on the beach and relax, so it was ok.<br><br>DAY 2. <br><br>After a morning of relaxing amongst the tourists, Borko, Julian, Vanessa and I decided it would be nice to go to a quieter beach, reachable by two hours of hiking. But this was some intense hiking, and of course by the time we ...

... I recommend bringing in food. The beach itself was gorgeous but in an oddly familiar and uninspiring sort of way. Aw, that's right, the beach looks like just California beaches. I'm a California girl, and the rocky cliffs and palm trees reminded me of beaches in southern California. The thrashing waves reminded me of beaches in northern California, and the tent cities on grass open fields could have easily been a California State Beach. <br><br><br>

... and rain much of the time. Still, it was the perfect place to lay around and spend a few days reading and swimming. Good alone time. <br><br>The walk in itself was probably my favorite part of being there. I've had an all-Andes South American adventure which means that I've skipped Amazonia altogether. Walking through the lush jungle along the coast was all new. Birds ...

... with fewer tourists. A few inlets further down the beach, we found a tiny patch of pebbles where no one was in sight. <br><br>We spent a great day floating in the salty green and warm waters until the sun set. <br><br>The real purpose for Taganga was for us to get to Park Tyrona, where all of the secluded beaches in the park where, the next day we paid a man to take us by boat to avoid the long walk through the jungle.<br><br>Beach ...
