Minca

Our trip to Minca started with a very hungover long bus journey to Santa Marta where we arrived too late for our transfer to minca! So had to get a taxi where they strapped our bags to the roof of the car and we stopped to get gas, which is literal gas very strange. We went to the blandest pizza place in the world and went to bed super early. Went on a waterfall hike, first waterfall was super easy to get to and basically had it all to ourselves. Started the hike into the jungle to the next waterfall, got lost and asked a lady which way to go and she pointed in the direction of a dog and said be careful the dog has killed 4 people and handed us a stick. We then tried to back out and go the opposite way and she escorted us past the dog while holding a stick. We were then deep in the jungle and realised this was not a common route for a reason. I then stood on a black and yellow snake!! We then reached the river and had to wade through the rapids to get across. We eventually reached the second waterfall and did some swimming! As we began the walk back this time along the road, the rain started! We were soaked and hungry stuck in the middle of nowhere. We decided to take shelter in a little hut until the rain passed. Once it slowed we began the walk again and just as we reached the restaurant and the rain stopped. The restaurant had a really aggressive cat which did not like me. We had amazing pulled pork with freshly baked cobs. Carried on our walk to our hostel which may be the coolest one we’ve stayed in so far. Went on the sunset walk and returned back to the hostel for the pub quiz! And won!! Which resulted in a free bottle of rum and we took it too far again! Woke up this morning feeling pretty bad again and went for a coffee scrub in the river and now I have the softest skin ever.Baca lagi
