Colombia

Christmas and the end of the year are approaching and I discover the charm of the fishing village of Taganga. I experience soccer on the beach with natives and the Colombian triangle.

Coin The second day after the luck in the wheel of fortune, I leave Saint Martha and move 650 m higher. It only takes half an hour by van. I find myself in the jungle and I have a view of the whole of Santa Marta, the sea, the forests and the mountains around. Sipping hot coffee from a Cuba mug…

Cartagena is a historic and very popular city with tourists and travellers alike. This brings with it a lot of positives and negatives and a lot depends on what part of the city you are… and I wasn’t exactly in the right one.

From Medellín I move to Guatape, supposedly the most colourful village in the world. I buy a ticket at the main station in Medellín and look for a bus.

After a week in the climatically inhospitable Bogotá, I take a bus to Escobar’s homeland. I’m heading for Medellín.
