What's up?! Happy new year all! Hope you celebrated in style and 2015 treats you well! So after my fun night of salsa, I braved the local buses to navigate my way to the bus terminal. Met the sweetest locals- one lady took me under her wing and on the packed bus she got off at the stop with me and put me on to the next bus I needed, where another guy watched over me til I had to get off, then another guy walked with me to the terminal. Haha! Colombians are sooo ...

Ola!! Hope you've all had a lovely festive period! With lots of good food, company and presents. Was great to FaceTime some of you on Christmas Day!

So Sunday morning I got chatting to a Danish guy over breakfast and we went out to explore the local area by foot as it was dry and there was even a little sun. He must of been in...

I'm back!! Wow! What a week! Thanks for all the messages- always nice to catch up on what's been happening and glad all is still good, although rather cold. Vic, did you not buy all the amazing, life changing creams and stuff? Aww, I am sad that I am missing seeing the boys and the opportunity to play with the Lego, but enjoy and give them a big kiss!
