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.

Swell
Sand castles and digging holes,

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 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 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 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 ...

Ciudad Perdida. Day 1

Posted by on 09 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia

Today we went so go. First purely to Santa Marta to TUCOL, our tour organizer. With NEM ordendtlichen Jeep, wide enough that four people can sit side by side. And encouraging roof went with another who must be.
Then on purely mitm Jeep in the mountains, three hours on increasingly smaller roads up to our actual departure. There had to be worried of course, first a mule, finally, Natali should ride horses ass cheer thingy to create the path. Oh, and Natali is 4 years old, by the way ...
After calming ordendtlichen meal then left walking no longer postpone. The hardest part of the tour came at the very beginning, about an hour upwards. Uphill, uphill, uphill. When the beautiful sunshine in the shade of the trees, encouraging the summit we were all completely wet from sweat own. Except Natali, the 'had to' yes cheer mule ride (and was always happy to steal nothin '). And besides Gualte, our guide, who has just gotten over the Sun Perhaps playing his excessive consumption of cigarettes ne role.
Well, we went further downhill, uphill, until it started raining and we had the opportunity to work with St. Pauli rain capes to walk through the wilderness. And to arrive at NEM small river where we could wash our sweat again.
Here we stay the night, again in mosquito net-covered hammocks. And there's the same food, and are even cold beer to buy, woot ;)

Farewell

Posted by on 08 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia

Today was final day. Farewell to the lazy life on the beach ... And how do you celebrate the best? With NEM properly extended beach holiday ;)
So lunch again over the mountains, and in our regular Bay - Playa Grande - gone. In the midst of the noonday heat, the newcomers, we had some show what is going on here so ;)

Carnival in Tranquilla

Posted by on 07 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia

Since yesterday's carnival so. In Rio, perhaps in Cologne (who knows this already) and Barranquilla. From here on the coast, not far at all from Taganga. So the plan was clear, Rio is too far to Cologne will not anyway, so after Barranquilla ...
As good as the plan was then to run. Stood up in the morning already at 10 with sore muscles, clear El Pueblito's revenge. Then tidy breakfast, then some looked at the sun - and then it was clear that no one brings us to nem Saufspektakel in the blistering heat. And it is better but the day at the beach, waiting somewhere in the shadows.
Planned and done. As a reward gabs in the evening extra-NEN small carnival in Taganga, great (and perfectly adequate). In addition to dancing and swinging ladies thong gabs as the main attraction for all those involved foam from a can - so here is sprayed each other as a sign of excessive exuberance. In order to belong, we of course like to set as a target available ;)

Carnival, Taganga
Foam Party

After so much action today was rest day, so again the beach. So we really wanted to walk very far, but we know now already with the plans and the heat of the day ... In any case, again a day at the beach, good as well. And now we sit in front of the hostel and just waiting for Natali, Hendrik and Ronald (our supporters for the trip to Ciudad Perdida), which have to arrive here any minute ...
(And now, all three arrived here safely degrees)

El Pueblito

Posted by on 05 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia

Today, of course, woke up too late, but after a very chilly night in the hammock. Note: long sleep pants or a sleeping bag that has its own. Even in the jungle wirds sometimes cold.
Fortunately wurdes then hot again, just right to attend to another test before our time NEN Ciudad Perdida-trip next week. No, it was not the tipping all ;)
We made a trek to El Pueblito. From the beach, as it should be different, of course, always uphill. Beeen at Steinweg, partly built for giants, and dug through caves, rather dwarfs. But we arrived habens managed and are bathed in sweat after a half hour together with Monne in the village.

Road to El Pueblito
El Pueblito

El Pueblito - because that was once a village a thousand years ago, and what wrong because everything is still preserved. The stone had proper roads in the jungle. and every house had NEN front yard, of course, with brick surround ...
Well, the way back was definitely rewarded with NEM swim in the Caribbean, and we have learned that you can even run up huge stones hundreds of yards away. If you only want ...

Tayrona

Posted by on 04 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Colombia

And now right into the heart of the Caribbean ... After two days of fishing and I will convert today Touridorf Taganga in the Tayrona National Park. Mitm boat, suitable to the Caribbean feel.
And with Monne, whom we had met in the hostel. A DJ from Barcelona, ​​who had come to Bogotraxx (the festival in Bogota) to Colombia.
In any case, by boat, with 400hp against the waves, which were then still higher than expected. To enthusiastic or exhausted (depending on who you ask) in the middle of paradise to come. Palm trees, beaches, granite rock in the water and directly behind wooded mountains, incredible ...
For the planned trip wars too late, so nice spending the afternoon and evening on the beach, swimming is indeed some options here.

Evening drinking beer then found that Monne from Barcelona is actually from Rotterdam. And has a brother, the Berlin Chess boxing competitions held.
