At 11am we all board the cat and after the bed allocation and a quick briefing it was time to set sail. We knew we had a long sail ahead of us we were told anywhere between 32hrs and 48hrs depending on the wind and the seas. The first 15mins was fine and then we hit the rough seas, I asked Fritz the captain is this rough and he confirmed no this is the best it's been all year and we had chosen the best week so far this year. Keeping that in the back on my hea...

Our next mission in Columbia this time around was to head back to Cartegena and organize a sail boat to take us to Panama. We arrived in Cartegena early morning after one of the worst bus trips, they had the aircon on full all night and it was totally freezing. Even with jumper, pants, socks and sleep sheet it was our worst night on the bus. We get off in Cartegena and it was boiling and really really humid. We catch the next taxi to town and find the first cheap...

We treated ourselves that morning to a great coffee and finally finished our trip to Medellin.We caught a taxi to Black Sheep Hostel which is c...

We were in the home team stand which got pretty rowdy, people throwing stuff around, playing instruments and letting off flares and fire works. When the away team had a corner down our end police in riot gear would come and stand behind him in case anything got thrown at him. It was full on. Unfortunately the...

We had a 7.30am flight to Rurrenabarque which only was 50mins from here we booked in to a hotel before walking around town looking for the best offer on the Amazon tour. We knew that we wanted to do the Pampas Tour which was a 3day 2 night tour. We looked at most companies and picked the cheapest which was 600BOB (just under $100US) because as we had found out before what they promise you and what you get in Latin America is 2 different things. The tour started...
