The local bus took us back to Santa Marta, we got out in Santa Marta not really knowing where we were, think we were supposed to stay on the mini bus. It turned out okay though as we got ourselves great Colombian footbal jerseys and got a pair of new sunnies. We got on the next bus to the big Exito shopping centre and back to Dreamers where we made lunch/dinner together and just chilled. It was so sad saying good-bye to the last of the chicas bonitas crew!! With...

I was rapidly running out of time, so it meant we had to leave paradise...we got a mototaxi back to the main road this time. Got a bus that was waiting for us and once we got to Santa Marta we took a taxi to Taganga. Taganga is an old fishing village that had gained massive tourist attention over the past few years. It´s a popular diving destination too. We booked into our hostel and made our way down to town for lunch on the bay. We watched some of the game a...

We checked out in the morning and got a bus from the main road to a place we heard of the day before, Costeña Beach. Dropped off at the start of the dirt road and started walking down. Thinking the place was just down the road we politely refused all the mototaxi offers. 40Min walk later we realised why they were offering. We had arrived in paradise though! This place was on a private beach with a few beach bungaloes and a dormitory.We had beds outside on the p...

We arrived from Tyrona Park in time for dinner at a local restaurant where we had the menu of the day (which is usually soup of the day with a main of chicken, fish or meat with rice, veggies or/and beans)...we had a really gorgeously prepared fish. We took motorcycle taxis to the Dreamer on the beach hostel, which turned out to be more like an awesome resort a minute away from the beach. We checked in, I took a stroll on the beach, we were both rather tired so a...

The Kiwi girls we met, Lisa and I made an early start for the Tyrona National Park. We took a 5000 pesos local bus to the first entrance 38 000 pesos entry and started our 3 and half hour trek through the Columbian jungle. It was truly not a walk in the park, more like scrambling over huge rocks, having to navigate with rather dodgy signs and listing to wild boars that sounded like hyena's on steroids. All said was a pleasant surprise to be greeted by clear water...
