    Santuario los Flamencos

    June 7, 2021 in Colombia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    It was early in the morning at the agency in Palomino. I was waiting for my motorbike taxi driver while I quickly left the agency to my a coffee.
    I encountered my driver at the coffee place. I offered him an Empenada and then we got ready for an one hour 20 minutes ride to the Flamingos sanctuary.

    Once we arrived there he told me to wait me here while I am on the Laguna observing the almost one thousand flamingos.

    I paid the boat trip and when I was back on land my driver asked me if I want to relax at the beach. I told him I’ll walk around and take photos of the birdlife.

    He went back to his roost to take a nap. I on the other hand discovered the area and took tones of photos. Around 10 in the morning I was ready to go back to Palomino. The taxi driver asked me if we should eat some lunch since it’s part of the trip. Too early though. I wasn’t hungry I calmed him down and role him to offer a nice juice on the way back to Palomino.

    After we drunk some delicious juice with a local fruit we arrived at the agency. The agency wanted to charge 40 us$ for the trip. I told them I will pay the driver 10 dollars and nothing else. Since the agency only organized my driver I didn’t see why they should get 40 bucks for a phone call.

    After a long fight I paid this scumbags 20 dollars and went back to my hostel.

    At night universe counterbalanced this inequity by sending me a beautiful young lady from heaven. Erika tried to cut line on a kiosk where I was just on the way to order a cold beer. We started talking, chatting, flirting and soon after that we decided to spend some days together.
