• Roadtrip to Costeño

    June 10, 2017 in Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    Jake, the guy from the trip to Punta Gallinas, was planning on driving down to Patagonia all through South America himself. For this trip he had bought an old van which he was converting himself into a camper van. He had left this van in Uribia when he went on the trip to Punta Gallinas. Heading back after the trip he offered a few of us a ride. I happily accepted! What's better than a road trip with a bunch of fun people?
    We were 6 people from 6 different countries. Jake from Australia, Chris from England, Luis from Guatemala, Maria from Spain, Anne from Holland and me.
    The weird part about sitting in the back was that he had a bed that converted into a couch facing to the sidewall without a window. The only windows were to the front and the back.
    We stopped in Riohacha because Maria had to pick up her luggage at her hostel. We used that stop to get some supplies including beers for the rest of the trip - note the drivers beer in the picture 😉
    We dropped Anne at Palomino and a bit further we stopped at Rancho Relaxo where Jake had been working on his Van. Maria, Chris and Jake stayed there but even though it was a nice place I wanted to stay closer to the beach so Jake drove Luis and me over to Costeño Beach.
