Playa Blanca

Hola amigos, so a new update of what we´ve been up to. It is quite a lot. We set out to go to Colombia, heading from south to north. However, due to elections, the farmers in the south decided to block the road, to make some point... So we got stuck in beautiful Pasto, where there is nothing to do. This could take 15 days, so we decided to fly to Cartagena. Cartagena is situated at the Caribean and is very warm and as a bonus it is also very humid, but after a few weeks we got used to it.

Cartagena is an old town with a nice old centre, some pretty fortresses, but we prefered to go to the beach. So we did, planning for 4 days max. we ended up staying there for 7 days, very low budget.

The road to the beach was complicated, we went by bus, by canoe and by motor taxi. very nice, especially the boat for 16 eurocent..











Well what did we do on this beach. Mostly nothing, except swimming, snorkling, eating, sleaping, walking and sunbathing. So cool and a lot of nice sandy beach around with nice trees, donkeys and cows that scare you like hell in the middle of night.





Oh and of course, the beds.. we slept for 6 days in hammocks, never did it and the first night was not that comfortable, but later it was perfect. Sleeping is so nice in a hammock especially when it is warm and of course a musquito net!!!










At the moment plans changed a bit, because of medical problems. We are back in Cartagena, waiting for good news from the doctor. Henk has an eyeproblem and needs a lot of rest, no light etc. So that sucks.... big time.

Oh one last nice pictures to show you, is a picture of a sloth, just wandering through the park here in Cartagena. It took us so much trouble to take pictures of it in the jungle and now at 10 cm away I could see it, so cool!!










Last hint of information, we have a ticket back to Amsterdam, for the fourth of July!!!! So people start planning big surprise parties etc....
