Who says you can't get through Central America in 3 weeks?! We left Colombia on our little sailing trip into the Caribbean sea looking forward to getting involved. We had our Pirate names ready and everthing, I was Captain Gingerbeard. As it turned out the 5 days we were sailing we had no wind and had to motor about 90% of the journey. We did have some cool storms though, surrouding us with lightning. The first views of Panama were pretty spectacular. There are...

A month has gone by in Columbia already! I could easily spend another 6 months in this country, it's amazing. The whole country has a party atmosphere and the locals are the friendliest I have met (plus the Colombian girls are stunning!) We started off in Cali, a town referred to a silicon valley as all the women have, um, enhancements.

This is then filled with gringos (white tourists) and belted around the sand dunes. So much fun! We also had a go at sand surfing. Imagine lying on a piece of plywood going down a ...

After the 10 hour night bus we made it into Arequipa at the respectible time of 5am. Knocking on the door of the hostel and asking to check in at this time seemed a bit cheeky but when you don´t understand what it is thay are shouting at you about anyway its less of a problem! We spent the day looking around the city and sampling the local cuisine (beer). It was decided that we needed a bit of culture in our lives so we visited one of the many museums where the...
