Colombia

Colombia Gallery

Of all the places I went to on my Round The World trip, Colombia would have to be my favourite country. Not just in my RTW but also in my top countries in the world. I think I would...

Crossing Borders from Popayan to Otavalo

The Streets of Popayan

It was one of those horribly early mornings that one seems to do quite frequently but always hate. At least I do. I’d packed the night before to minimise the disturbance to my dorm mates so all that was...

Explorations around San Agustin

Standing Guard

I spent three days exploring the areas around San Agustin, one more day than I intended. I must admit that now I’m a little over seeing statues at the moment, at least for a few days however it was...

The Salt Cathedral

Inside the Salt Cathedral

So today I headed off on a day trip to see the Salt Cathedral in a small town about 2 hours, via public transport out of Bogota. There were meant to be some others from the hostel going as...

Gold Fever in Bogota

Mask of Gold

It was a rather relaxed start to the day this morning since most of the places I’ve stayed in here in Colombia and Venezuela unlike there counterparts down south do not offer breakfast. That generally means every morning getting...

Coffee & a Day Hike in Salento

Bridge Crossing

Surprisingly enough I got to Salento. I had been told originally to take the bus to Pereira then change bus and get on one from there to Salento. However when I went to buy my bus ticket they advised...

Medellin, Party Central

A View of Medellin

Ok this one is going to be short. Really short. Medellin is a bit of a party town and not really my scene. I’m talking major party town here. Most of my room mates do not make an appearance...

A Change of Pace in Mompos

Riverside

I was exchanging emails with a fellow traveller and in the course of the exchange we of course gave an update of our current location. The reply to this update in the next email was along the lines of...

El Coche Means Car!

Mompos from the River

‘Mañana me salida Cartagena por Mompos en el Coche?  Hora el Coche salida?  Cuanto Cuesta?  Reserva?’ That was me trying to speak to the receptionist at my hostel to arrange transport to Mompos. Terrible right?  Still I was quite...

Mud Bath Anyone?

Mud Bath, Colombian Style

The choice today was between La Playa Blanca or Volcan Del Totumo.  So between a beach and taking a mud bath.  So of course I chose the mud bath since I’ve sat around on beaches before but I haven’t...

The Weight of Witches & Warlocks in Cartagena

Questioning, Inquisition Style

Today I went for a walk around the old town of Cartagena, taking in the sights and sounds of the old city. I walked back towards the wall where I’d been the night before to see it all during...

In Cartagena, By Mistake…

Dancing up a Storm

Alright I admit it. Sometimes when traveling one ends up somewhere totally by mistake. It’s happened before and I have no doubt that it will happen again. Not that I didn’t intend to come to Cartagena eventually. I just...

Fried Ants & Paragliding, so Much Fun

Left turn

Today was a mixed day. You know first half boring involving that whole packing ones bag, checking out of the room, paying the bill, getting snacks for the night bus. All that fun stuff. After lunch the pace changed...

A day in Barichara

Its a Dogs Life

Today a group of us headed out from the hostel to a nearby town, Barichara. We were supposed to be leaving after breakfast but you all know what it is like with big groups? Somehow with all the ‘just...

San Gil

The Park

Before anyone comments yes I know there is a little bit of a break in the journal. The missing part encompasses the days that I was in Venezuela, I’ll back capture that when I get around to it! It...
