Hola Colombia

Very happy to be in safe harbour after a few hours of fighting against the forces of nature this afternoon. 52 knots of wind at one point right at the cape of Tayrona, just before the bay of Santa Marta, so we decided to duck into the harbour here rather than continuing another 100 miles to Cartagena in one go as originally planned. Phew.. at least we've arrived and finally we're in South America, por fin amigos! Just enjoyed a delicious sopa de pesca and a carne asada with the typical South American tomato/onion salad, and the whole meal for only $3 USD per person. I think we've found just the right place to stay for a few months..

Now be sure to take in all the wonderfulness of central and south America, because you will find yourself missing these things once you arrive in the South Pacific, i.e., cheap good beer, chips and salsa, good cheap boat help, tortillas, sopas...the list is long.

You must really want to cross the Pacific to leave such a wonderful place as the place you are now.

Colombia is Great!

Food doesn't cost much and it's always good. I've only been to Bogota but would love to visit the coastal cities.
