The Carribean Colombia.....

Hi guys!

I think I left you last updated on New Years Eve - we had a lovely day that day as a group of us took a boat out to Playa Blanca - a beautiful white sand beach close to Cartagena. It was a nice day to finish of the year! That night we went out with everyone for a nice dinner and then saw in the new year watching fireworks over the water (although i´m sure theydidn´t compare to Sydneys!). We spent the first early hours of 2008 dancing away.

New Years day we chilled out and treated oursleves to a yummy lunch. We strolled along the Malecon and took in a lovely sunset. Wednesday we had an adventure in a mud volcano! (see picture above). It was a really wierd sensation being in there but very cool =)

Last Thursday we travelled away from Cartagena (although we really like didthere, a very nice city) to Taganga. Taganga is a small fishing village with a real chilled out hippy vibe. We spent a few days there partying and chilling out on the beach which was nice.

Monday we travelled to Parque Tayrona - a beautiful national park where the tropical jungle meets beautiful beaches (see last 2 pics above). It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip, we had a great time there. We spent our days wandering along the beaches, exploring the jungle and slept in hammocks at night!!!

We got back to Taganga yesterday and are just killing time waiting for our bus to Bogota, the capital of Colombia. After that we´re off to Ecuador! Colombia is really amazing though, and we´re really enjoying it here....
