So I was heading back up north to Cartagena, to meet back up with Abbie and Izzy. They had got the plane up there because apparently they were tired of the night buses and it was cheap enough. I on the other hand decided to get the night bus, I oddly am quite fond of the night buses and it was a little cheaper than a flight and with the saving a nights accommodation to I thought it was worth a while, my only apprehension was that I would be travelling solo, it wo...

We were back at the Pit Stop at about 2.30pm and reacquainted with Abbie and Iz again. We told them about our adventures and they told us of their escapades, to be honest I think they must have missed us as they didn't do too much. A storm set in and as I was hoping to catch up my blogs but I ended up being distracted by the movie in the TV room. It was the quality bromance film - I Love You Man.

Luckily I was quite tired so after one successful game of solitaire I fell asleep only waking up once when ...

You might have thought after a very poor night's sleep I would sleep all of the two hour journey from Barranquilla to Cartagena, well you would be mistaken I was wide awake so cracked on with my book Little Bee and before you knew it Earl, me and the random Chilean lady who came with us from the hostel had arrived in Cartagena. In a previous establishment I had found a hostel which looked pretty decent however they was only one space left so we went to another ro...
