    Bolivia day 2, 3 and 4

    1 de agosto de 2023, Bolívia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    The second day in la Paz and we did a lot of wandering round the city while there was a protest going on and a dancing parade. Decided we’d seen enough of the city and played a lot of pool in an Irish pub. Went out for food where we had a set menu of 4 courses for £10!!!
    Set off early the next morning to Sucre for the night, very pretty city! Went on a walking tour saw them making lots of tapestry’s and had an earlyI’m night ready for our long drive the next day.
    We began our very long drive by stopping off in potosi a mining city at 4200m. Continued through what looked like the Wild West. Squatted to do a wee over some cacti in the middle of nowhere and arrived just in time for sunset in our hotel made of salt!!    Leia mais

    Bolivia day 1

    30 de julho de 2023, Bolívia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    After 22 hours of travelling we arrived in the city of la Paz at 7am, checked into our hotel and decided it was time for bed. Being at 4000m really takes its toll so we eventually decided to get some lunch and tried the Bolivian version of empanadas, salentas. We then started our tour of the city which began in the valley of the moon a dried clay valley eroding away. We took the cable cars across the city and visited the parliament square. We went to the witches market where they sacrifice baby lamas to the earth and make potions. Decided on some sandwiches for dinner next door to the hotel and asked for a tea with milk and received lemon flavoured tea made with frothy milk not amazing but drinkable.Leia mais

    Galapagos day 2

    23 de julho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    We started our day on Floreana with an early morning hike to a lagoon to see flamingos, pelicans and blue footed boobies then to a beautiful beach to see crabs and turtle nests. We returned to the boat and prepared for our first snorkelling. Within the first five seconds of jumping into the water we saw a hammer head shark 🦈 standards were set. We saw sea turtles and so many colourful fish and corals. We returned to the boat and did a quick change and took a boat to the post office, this was actually a barrel where people leave letters and post cards with the hope of someone else picking them up who is going there soon. I’m the afternoon we took a bus to the only fresh water source on the island and learnt about the history of the people who lived there. We also learnt about the work of the National park and the whaling ships who stole tortoises. On our way we saw sea lions, penguins and iguanas!Leia mais

    The Galapagos- Day 1

    22 de julho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    We arrived to the only eco friendly airport in the world on the island of Baltra and met our guide and the rest of our tour. We got on a bus and then a boat across the bluest water I have ever seen to Santa Cruz island and then on another bus to a giant tortoise ranch and a lava tunnel! We saw lots of giant tortoises and walked through a naturally formed tunnel made from lava. Had a lovely lunch and started to get to know our fellow tourers. We then went to the Darwin Research centre where we saw the breeding of giant tortoises and learnt about poor Lonesome George the giant saddle back tortoise who was left on his own for 65 years 😭. We then panic brought rash guards in the gift shops and headed for our boat/ home for the week! Had the rockiest and loudest night travelling from Santa Cruz to Floreana.Leia mais

    Final day in colombia and quito

    19 de julho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Our final morning with Finn, joe and I left him at the airport in Santa Marta and headed back to Bogotá. Both of us feeling incredibly ill from the altitude we arrived at a very very nice hotel. Had the nicest shower ever and felt the cleanest of this whole three weeks. We went for some nachos and an interesting burrito before meeting Paul and Ollie for some beers and a game of Tejo, ollie thrashed all of us. We played some pool and some cards on the roof of the hotel before having the best night sleep ever. Packed up ready to go again the next morning before meeting some of uncle Paul’s Colombian colleagues who wanted to here all about our travels round Colombia. We then flew to Quito and had some kinda authentic Ecuadorian food. Went on a walking tour of the city and saw lots of Catholic Churches and learnt about the history of Quito. Found an Irish pub that had a pool table and Guinness signs everywhere. We then moved across the road to do a beer tasting. Took a really long Uber back to the hotel and all of us were knackered again so decided on an early night ready for our 5am wake up to start our journey to the Galapagos!!!Leia mais

    Palomino

    17 de julho de 2023, Colômbia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    And then there were 3, Becca left us early in the morning and we decided to walk up the dirt track to the bus. Finn got to experience his first Colombian bus and we arrived in the very cute town of palomino. We took a very hot walk down another dirt road and walked past lots of cute little shops and stalls. We decided to chill by our hostels pool for a lot of the days we were there, we needed some serious chill time! We tried to go to a sunset hostel party but it turned out it was the day before. Went to a food market area and got bombarded by menus from every place in the market. Had a lovely chicken tikka masala and ended the night playing poker with some guys we met in Cartagena. We went for breakfast at a vegan place but all has egg omelettes. Decided to chill round the pool and play some pool and we went for a sunset body board, well Finn and joe did I just watched. They both got battered by the waves again but the sunset was amazing. We then met up with our friends from min a for some Lebanese food and decided to play jenga and cards and drink lots of 2 for 1 mojitos. We then ventured down to the beach party which was rubbish until we arrived. We then went to a bar and asked for cocktails and was given a bucket of poison (pure rum). Woke up the next day 30 minutes before checkout still dressed from the night before. Collected all of our clothes from the laundry! Took a chicken cart ride up to the bus and then another Colombian bus to the airport to our apartment that was 100m from the runway! Our final night we ordered burgers that took 3 hours to come!Leia mais

    Costeno beach

    15 de julho de 2023, Colômbia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Taxied to costeno beach and to stay at a surf camp even tho we didn’t see any surfers. Was a very very chill place which we definitely needed. Pretty sure Finn slept for 16 hours. We got persuaded into a surf lesson even tho the first guy said it wasn’t suitable for beginners which we made very clear we were. Had two instructors for the 4 of us who definitely spent the whole time laughing at us. We practiced in a river first all seemed good. We then ventured out into the sea, only two of us allowed in at a time so we were one on one with an instructor. Genuinely never been so scared of drowning in my life I felt like I got beaten up by the sea. Was not fun at all, lasted approx 10 minutes in the sea and then gave up. I think I’ll stick to uk surfing. Decided to treat ourselves to a party at another hostel but had to walk along the beach in the pitch black and saw the biggest crabs ever. Did lots of star gazing and had a go at beach volley ball but was pretty bad in the dark. Becca left us early in the morning for Peru and we took another Colombian bus to palomino!Leia mais

    El rio hostel

    14 de julho de 2023, Colômbia ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Arrived at el rio hostel feeling a little worse for wear after our sickness induced hike! We decided to nap catch up on our phones after not having any service for more than 24 hours all while the party had already started at 3pm. We decided to get a grip and get on with the party after some food,some very cool people there and very cool music. Managed to last until 4am before requiring bed unlike the girls in our room who made it till 8am. Didn’t take any photos here was too busy dancing, pretty sure I took some on my film camera but a seriously cool hostel!Leia mais

    Tayrona National Park

    12 de julho de 2023, Colômbia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    We departed minca to begin our journey to Tayrona National park. Spent an hour arguing with some moto taxi guys who didn’t want us to get on the public bus. Eventually got on our first proper Colombian bus which was still moving as you got on and had a ticket guy who hung out of the door for the whole journey. We arrived to where we thought our hostel and then had to moto taxi up a dirt track and through a river. We were the only ones at our hostel and most of it was still under construction, other wise very cute hut all to ourselves. The next morning we started the 2 hour trek through the national park where we saw centipedes, snakes, spiders, crabs and monkeys! We reached our campsite that was a hut on top of some rocks with hammocks in the middle of two gorgeous beaches. Had a lovely day getting sunburnt on the beach and swimming with lots of fish and Finn met us on the beach! Hardly slept because the hammocks were freezing cold, they were swinging in the wind and I have never worn more layers. Finally got to sleep and slept through the sunset. Woke up feeling dreadful and had to endure the 2 hour hot hike back with suspected food poisoning/ whatever sickness you get from dodgy water and eventually arrived at el rio hostel just in time for our 3pm to 8am party!Leia mais

    Minca

    10 de julho de 2023, Colômbia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    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.Leia mais
