We took our time this morning. We were going to have a long Journey to Bogota, overnight arriving at 7am the tomorrow. The chef knocked up one of her special breakfasts for us, fruit salad, toast, juice and coffee. We packed our bags the best we could and then chilled out in the swimming pool. Around midday we checked out, said a teary goodbye to our hosts, caught a taxi and headed for the bus terminal which was south of Santa Marta. On arrival we quickly ...

... a block down and it obviously catered to the students with a great atmosphere and view on the second story of the walking park below. So we sat, reading the kindle and alternatingly dozing off before and after we ate. <br><br>Finally, we left and headed for our bus, hailing it off the street and peering out the window as we made our way back to the airport. Our next flight was a red-eye to New York City. Upon arriving we made a ...

... up hill for the view of the city of 8 million. There is a church on the hill that people accredit to miracles in the past and is holy for them. I went to the Botero museum whom is one of my favorite artist now, restocked my cigars and met David and Stuart from Britain. They were going to Tagana to do the Lost City trek so I joined in and off we went for a 16 hour bus ride.

... The walls were adorned with old movie posters. It had a hip-hop soundtrack and a packed dancefloor. The people were extremely friendly (they have been consistent so far in this regard) and those who could speak English made a point of coming up to talk to me. One man who had spent some time in London gave me his details and offered to bring me out with his friends the following night. The next day I wandered the city with Diego. We made our way down to the central square. The church ...

... border town.. With a diverse trade conducted in more than one currency.. A consistency of different people from both sides of the border coming and going with a variety of assorted luggage.. Also, like most border towns, a strong military presence existed here.. However, behind the front line i found a pleasant community of people, the population (i was told) is around 20,000 people and the feeling ...

... with no real problem and drove in to get the service and repairs done. It was all painless since the reception man spoke some English and the workshop manager spoke excellent English. As usual we asked to stay with the vehicle and they agreed but we have to move next to the security hut for the night since this place is the main Mercedes garage in Colombia and is owned directly by Mercedes in Germany and they do not allow people to stay in the vehicles. Anyway ...

... voitures et de klaxons. Enfin le vol est parti à 8h30, et sans d'autres ennuis nous nous sommes retrouvés à Quito. Le miracle a été le fait que tous nos bagages étaient là à Quito! Après ça je me suis rendu à l'auberge et j'ai finalement refait mes sacs, et puis je suis allé faire dodo après une excellente soirée en compagnie de plein de gens du monde entier. :) J'ai appris plus tard que ce soir là il pleuvait à sceaux sur Quito, dont la piste est ...
