Since the lost city trek Natalie and I have been busy. We meet up with some fellow Canadians and one Ozzie. Together we rented a boat and did a fishing trip in a park called Tayrona. The fish that were caught were then cooked for us. That was a fantastic meal. Unfortunatly while on these trip we are blown away by the amount of stray dogs that are everywhere on the coast of colombia. They all seem to be on deaths door or a meal away from it. Natalie has to physically restrain herself from adopting every dog we see. I totally agree with her most of them are really cute even thought you can see their bones sticking out of there skin.
The group of us decided it was time to leave Taganga and move further up the coast to a Town called Palameno. On the way we were approach by a cute Colombian woman that offered her house for us to stay in (with her husband). We haggled about the price and decided on 10 000 pesos (really cheap) would be good for nights accomidation. It also turned out that her husband ran a tour where you take a tire tube out on the river and ride it down for about two hours. So much fun.
This is were the group split up Phil going back to Canada, James to Santa Marta and Nat and I decided to catch a bus to Bogota. This was not a fun trip. It was 18 hours of sitting on your ass doing nothing but sleeping or reading. If we knew spanish there were movies playing but we do not. The bus driver also informed us not to puke in the toilet or any other smelly things due to the fact everyone on the bus would enjoy the smell for the entire trip. During the entire trip we had one stop for that purpose and to grab something to eat. One of the other passengers brought his dog on the bus but not inside with the rest of the people he had to sit under the bus with the other luggage. We really felt for him.
So we are now in Bogota and recoving from that long trip. As a relaxing tour we went to the gold museum here in Bogota. It explained alot about the history of Colombia and had huge displays of gold artifacts as you can well imagine.
Tomorrow we are going to the Salt Cathedral.
Stay tuned.......
