We just arrived in Taganga and are staying in a very full and well equipped hostel called Casa de Felipe, the beds are even comfy. We had a great couple of nights in Cartagena where we were the only and first guests in a brand new hostel being opened by a young Colombian and his American girlfriend.
The highlight of our stay in this city was definitely our trip to a mud volcano, called Vólcan on Saturday. We got to spend a relaxing hour in the mud and had fresh fish for lunch. It was probably the cheapest mud bath I´ll ever receive. We met some friends there, as seen in the pics, Sarah from New Zealand and Mercedes from Argentina and went out with them another American and a local named Roni that night. Roni taught me how to dance Cartagena style, he gave me an 8 out of 10 on my skills but I think he was just being nice. We had a great night filled with Colombian beer, navy officers and a lot of walking.
Tonight we are meeting up with Sarah again for a BBQ with some other New Zealanders and tomorrow we have and early morning of scuba diving. On Wednesday we are heading off for a 6 day hike to La Cuidad Perdida, so stay tuned from what is bound to be an exciting post in a week or so.
