Santa Marta

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.

We took a 'colectivo', a kind of shared taxi full of Colombians, up the mountain to a little town called Minca in the Sierra Nevada. The road was quite scary anyway, with it's sharp turns and steepOkumaya devam et
