Eventually, two months are around. It's time, Moki, we have already adopted, Ronald is still with us lunch and then we fly back. First, to Madrid, we gaze at us tomorrow or soon, then on to Berlin. And Saturday once again be home to the clerk, but also what has ...
Colombia, oh yes, a wonderful holiday. And had a good experience, if one disregards the attacks of mosquitoes. But it was also a well-trodden backpacker holiday paths, the true Colombia (gibs that) we have not seen you. The Pacific coast, the Amazon, and many other corners waiting on it yet to be discovered by us.
Also we saved to dance salsa in Cali, do not have everything. And better understanding it is just the Columbia and fortunately for us before verseckten propensity for violence in this country in not too sure. This is probably through books, perhaps by ' Law in a lawless country , 'which was part of our travel library. Remains an ambivalent feeling the reality of a country, after two months, but can not understand. And still, in any case, the memory of a wonderful vacation in a distant alien world, with the dearest of all women by my side. Beautifully das.
And now the heater does in Germany, here we come!
Chill in Cali
Posted by rene on 28 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia
For three days we are now in Cali. And times have simply done nothing so far. So aside from the daily supermarket visit and cheer the way past his visit eco-parks, of course, on Sundays only place for people, but not offered for the animals in the area. They have rather rumgetrieben at Ronald + Mokis house on Sunday passed an iguana, a squirrel and a burst of brightly colored sparrow-like birds, however.
More is happening here is not degree. Enough times, too, after all the action. Reading books, hoeing the computer, basking in the heat, the memories of those hot days here overcomes anything the weather outlook for Germany - and then comes the spring in Germany.
We even have three days here. Apart from short trips to the city and possibly NEN trip to the Sugar Cane Museum is nothing planned, so shall it be also with reports here are thinner. And also with photos, but enough times so now. Well then, some joy (or they say nostalgia?) Is now as well as slow, time you'll see them all again. Soon.
Enjoy the dive, and again emerging

So we had moved for a week to Providencia. Ne delightful little Caribbean islands, sandy beaches, palm trees, and the water with 27Grad ideal for cooling at 40 degrees chill on the beach.
Beautiful, and because only boring island squatting in the long run, is on the second day we visited the same time Felipe. Felipe is a little over 50 years Rastaman, who turned his hobby into a profession. Nich dive what do you think he likes. And then we have taken the same time, samples had to be diving course, if you have been looking over at Paradis.
And what there was to see everything: thousands of starfish, coral in all colors, like fish in an aquarium, beautiful. As excited as we were, we have only a plan and razed After then diving course. That meant getting up early every day, but after that, but since the gabs a full day program.
And we could all get to know colleagues from Felipe, Mariluis, Alex, Jim, Charlie, and even some other very relaxed contemporaries, who have both taken the effort with jokes and motivating words. And We did it, we both now and be sure NEN Tauschein swim under the water again soon.
Because down there ne real chic world is hidden. In addition to thousands of colorful coral fish gabs course, more than enough. Those who have blown themselves in touch as to nem hedgehog ball bearing the gefähliche plumes. There were stingrays, giant crabs and of course dolphins. And There Were Sharks course, we are still very cool. One larger than the other, and impressive anyway. And also somehow elegant, so big fish do not so hectic.
In the evening, beautiful beach on the fish eaten that are not lucky enough to hang out the day with us divers, but absolutely had to fishermen. And again looked at the sea, as the Rays jumped out of the gabs Wasseer and tried to learn to fly (unsuccessfully). Leutende and marine animals, such as the lights were stranded on the beach. Fine fine.
But after so much time paradise must also return some reality. And against the return of some internet I will also say nothing. So now back to Cali HERE to Ronald and Moki and the kids. And then soon after cold Germany, well, for a week vacation is still ...

Still in Cartagena, we have sweated the last two days times correctly in NER city. And there are nice spots here, living spaces, colorful streets and many children - if only it were not so hot ...
Well, since such hot days need a project plan so that it is going to move the focus from the fan, we have yesterday morning gamacht culture. So watched. And while the old fortress - to-- which has somehow just fine Cartagena defended against 186 French sailing ships. Is zugegegebn a while ago.
In the afternoon we have dedicated ourselves to the current culture and looking for postage stamps and postal ne. After thousands of tips we've found it in NER external switch in the center gallery, where there were stamps. Extremely expensive. Inconspicuous and NEN 0815-mailbox, stood on the 247. Whether this will probably mean that you should throw around the Clock what?
After so much culture today was again encouraging walking plan. Will walk to the beach town, because so was really inviting for a swim is not so ... So once wandered around the skyscraper peninsula, some wet feet and made us diligently on it happy, that we much better off tomorrow NEN beach have ...

Have we done so yesterday. Time another 5 hour bus fahrn, not counting the incredibly long drive to Santa Marta to the bus station. If you believe Not like the big hole is ...
So anyway's a long bus ride, after half gabs' s film, even for us, especially with English subtitles. "My name is Khan", again to experience something wonderful Indian romance. Just then the bus ride was not long enough, the last kitsch tears we had to then pick up on Wikipedia - a stroke of luck, happy ending.
Then thwarted yesterday in search of food half the city at night, wonderful. On the day of ISTS is lighter, it is also better and cheaper restaurants, but the price is the heat. At least 40 degrees or so not to endure. Clever way, we have escaped us for ne good while in air-conditioned shopping zones Furnished - as a thank Antje has now a summer dress.
Apart from that we have today, the city looked at again in light. And is beautiful, definitely. Small fancy houses with balconies and flowers, the little city car Contaminated pleasant. And there are also some parks and cafes, that is a kept. Even the police are comfortable with beach buggies on the road, well, and goes with everything else Sun
In any case, there is a lot to see. And we still have two more days, so take it easy ...

Once again ... on the beach. Two days doing nothing, at least that was the plan. And because there is no better place than under the palms on the beach of the Tayrona National Park, so again there.
And again mitm boat, Antje has a weak-Ciudad Perdida minutes probably under-endorphins agreed. So all going on in orderly waves again, and at first made hats and all the fun. After calming forty-five minutes were the only men in our team outing fun, the ladies were a bit annoyed. Luckily the beach was finally in sight, the paradisiacal coastline with palm trees everywhere.
Ronald and Henrik are the same going to Tayrona city of El Pueblito, Antje and Natali with me spending the afternoon at the beach ... And the early evening. Ronald and Henrik have that is very clever way back taken from the NEN other mountain. The even went down in ne bay, just not in the right 
So back up hill, downhill, and just before the ultimate dusk and wake up the spiders and snakes of the forest are both exhausted again surfaced with us ... Well, who does not want to come out of training
And today we went at the beach her for a half back. Again in orderly waves, and this time did not really enjoy the time. Antje will now never ever again fahrn boat, we'll see. Natali was with NEM Belohnungseis to satisfy, at least. Antje and I think what made me
Tomorrow is first then farewell to Ronald, Natali and Henrik who have to go back to Cali. And we mitm bus ride to Cartagena, there's all of our aircraft to the Colombian Caribbean islands - so keep the way of the sun ...
Ciudad Perdida, Day 5, returns home
Posted by rene on 13 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia
At home. In the hammock. In 'Ozo Peresozo', finally back in the 'bad bear', washed, clean clothes. Beer and pizza. That feels good ...
A glorious trip back today. " This is the path to the heights I'm often gone "at least four days before schonmal. Fine, if the slopes, to which one yet remembers well, now, instead of hours (uphill) only take 10 minutes (downhill). Fine too, when you finally arrive at the lodge, where everyone expects even joyfully Natali - now here she kent each. And at the lodge, where we have already signed up 4 days before our lunch, once again producing eggs for vegetarians.
Now, even if we are totally KO, a wonderful trip. So deep in the jungle as long on the physical limitations I waer a long time nothing around. And now take a rest first announced. And laundry, but that is already done in the house next door.
And nice that the world is not yet set. No sooner is one time few days away ... happiness are sure the German nuclear power plants ... And Japan is indeed somewhere in the East, because you wonder even nothing at all. Perhaps Merkel hang NEN Support Fund for SIEMENS for Japanese nuclear power plants finally on the super safe German standard (TM) to bring ...
Oh, and pictures give, uh, so many. So later on.
Ciudad Perdida, Day 4
Posted by rene on 12 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia
Yay. We went off early in a good mood today, this time at half 7th And so we are really awake too, the same river again by NEN. what is called as the day before, from shoes, pants, and wade through the water in Schlüppi. Then it is lively.
The whole three times, then straight up and 1700 levels as we warn. At last. First, some hidden in the fog, then washed off in the drizzle and then the city was ready for presentation. Huge, great location and of course cheer up hill. Terraces and steps without end, all finely exposed and covered with beautiful moss.
Natali was carried up the mountain, and Ronald was so well for 400 years, the first child in the city. It was really great, and it has also made good fun. If you highlight perhaps a whiteboard for drawing in the coffee bar - the hut of the archaeologist - was.
After 4 hours in the lost city we went back down, then 3 more times through the water and then there were lunch. And off we went, again through the water and in a long trip back to camp the second day. Happy, successful, and then we have exhausted the evening with beer for the big game of hide and round off for the kids.
Apart from hundreds of thousands of mosquito bites to get updated very often reported little damage. Antje has been thrust bert bissl the leg and Ronald has been captured at play at least 7 ticks, but all is well again. Even we have been showered, went actually from the dirt
Well, Tomorrow we then back in NEM day project to civilization. Natali allowed to ride donkeys and Ronald cheer can protect his back. And all we can again use the dry, clean clothes, had to stay for few days at home ... so wonderfully dry T-shirt in the morning ...
Ciudad Perdida, Day 2 + 3
Posted by rene on 11 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia
What do you write large, the last two days have brought little new. Apart from Kogi Indian villages we went through more humid jungle nature, fine. And always get up early, shortly after 7 march, and then going uphill into the jungle.
Supply of fresh fruit in between get updated very often, do not save our guides with treats. Nevertheless, my motivation is somewhat depressed, thats a bit annoying to walk all morning and then wait for the whole afternoon. That the evening comes, the dinner is over and the rest period begins.
Afternoon rain here viz. Always. Annoying. Really!
However, this is different from tomorrow. Now in NEM-beds and hammock camp at the foot of the Lost City, is tomorrow's 1700 steps to the goal of our hike. At last! And next we go with a Sense hike back to camp for the night last night, hopefully in the dry.
Reverse WORKS in a twin, always two tours going there in a day - at least all day hike, which ever was ... And press time, the thumb that morning flying the fog is not so deep and we get to see what of the lost city ...
