    Santa Marta

    November 29, 2015 in Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C

    Got to Santa Marta 2 days ago. It took 4 hours to get here by bus. Driving is mental here, buses with open doors and hanging people out, beeping the horn and taking over the ambulance.
    The hostel is a little paradise: hammocks, pool, bar, biliard, palmtrees. We were not even bothered to go out from the hostel cause it's so hot. Santa Marta is nice enough but not a lot to do anyway, seems like a typical big city. More interesting to go for little excursions a bit further.
    Always easy to have a little chat with other bagpackers to gather some info about places to visit, some of them are really nice and helpful (and of course there are the big headed loud ones)
    They sell gulyas beef for so cheap, need to find some paprika!!
    Two out of two hostels without electricity for a day. Maybe we are cursed...
    Leaving tomorrow for Minca :)
