Its beginning to really heat up

So the three of us arrive on the north coast, after a night sitting on a bus with super efficient aqir conditioning. It was absolutely freezing, so had to try and sleep shivering under a hoody. Then i was almost very feint once i stepped off the bus into 30 + temperatures with super humidity.

A colourful character

We jumped into a cab for the long stretch into the city centre, where we moved into a pretty cramped and crappy hostel. Sadly, we only stayed a night, as the desire to spènd some time on the beach was too great to spend any time in an odd city. So the next morning we headed on a bus to Santa Martha, 6 hours away. However, we had acquired 2 more irish girls, fresh off the plane, who didnt know what they were doing, or where to go. The cab back to the bus station was an interesting experience, as the road was blocked and we all had to carry all our stuff through a bust poor area, in the mid day sun. And then almost started a fght between rival bus employees, how fun!!!!
