| You´ll never know who you´ll meet upon landing in Colomiba... PIBE!!! |
 |
| In Santa Marta we met up with our good friends Andres and Maja from British Colombia who have the cutest Colombian-Bosnian-Canadian kids ever: Aidan and Jovan. We miss you! |
 |
| Got to spend a couple of days together at the mouth of the Rio Piedras as it meets the sea. Here´s the Rio Piedras looking south towards the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. |
Little champions learning to swim in the river...
 |
| ...Aidan, House and Jovan ... |
 |
| ...with the incredible waves of the Caribbean just steps away. |
 |
| When we weren´t swimming, we ate free mangos.Jovan the mango monster showing us how it´s done! |
 |
| Aidan´s favorite spot. |
 |
| Too cute for words! |
 |
| Sunset in the port of Santa Marta, with Dole fruit-laden boats taboot. |
 |
| Shaved ice and the beach in Santa Marta |
 |
Everywhere in Colombia, but especially on coast, vendors, waiters, shop owners all greet you with ¨A la orden...¨ (at your order/service). Santa Marta`s lively nights are filled with loud music coming from huge speakers and people sitting out on the street talking.
Here´s a couple of street scenes: |
 |
| what Tony Hawk? |
 |
| After a couple days in town, we headed out to trek in another part of Tayrona Park... |
 |
| Which ended up being a beautiful exercise in sweating bullets on the way to the coast |
 |
| The entire beach to ourselves and free coconuts! |
 |
Another beach where we stayed for 2 nights: sweat, swim, sleep, eat, repeat.
Almost all to ourselves. |
 |
| Yet another beach, and still no one. Love it! |
 |
| After the stint in the park, we got our diving certifications out of Taganga. The extra perk: free casba cliff camping for 2 nights during the course (even with Adirondack chairs on rockers!). |
 |
| Fishermen from whom we bought fish a couple of coves away. |
 |
| What an experience! Another world just opened up...Here´s our Venezuelan instructor Otto to the right and his photos of one of our dives: |
 |
| You'll never get out of this maze ... |
