First Weeks in a Nutshell

It´s been a pretty eventful first few days. Trekked to the Lost City which was absolutely beautiful and hidden deep in the jungle, There was no one there apart from our trek group and loads of colombian soldiers who are guading the jungle against the drug lords! It was pretty weird jumping into all the rivers over waterfalls in just a bikini with loads of soldiers cheering you on with their massive guns and armour- some were even carrying bazukas. They loved posing with their guns at your head for photos and had somehow managed to smuggle a puppy into the jungle with them. Interesting! Chilled out in this hippy fishing village called Taganga after that and met some lovely lovely people who we´re now travelling with. Alexand I are in Cartagena after a crazy trip here yesterday which involved us hitching with a german trucker who was obsessed with playing metallica and led zepplin we then got stopped by the police as it turned out this german´s insurance ran out the day before- very unkucky - and we had to bribe them into letting us travel on. Cartagena is beautiful, gorgeous sunsets from the walls. There is a great Cafe `del Mar`with fantastic music. Sadly the drinks are too expensive so Alex, Francis, Paul and I just sat on the canons next to it and took in the atmsophere with our iodined tap water.
