WE DISCOVED A WHOLE NEW PART OF CARTAGENA











our new hotel in cartagena is in the newer part and it is lovely too. sort of like a small dirty vegas with an ocean. but really quite lovely.
now we have moved into a 5 star hotel that i found online really cheap and i will begin my journay home tomorrow night. ayla will stay here alone untill friday.
this has been an adventure.
ask me about it sometime!

back to cartagena









we spent a week in providencia and it is very beautiful, we drove our motobike around the island a few times and found some lovely beaches (too cloudy and rainy).

our house had a hen and her 6 chicks and we spent time feeding them and watching them grow as the hungry looking 3 foot long lizard eyed them up too.
the owner of the house and her sister Grace were lovely women. they had homes next to us.
as we drove around the island i was suprised by how many people were injured from motorbike accidents. even our friend grace, we met on her way back from knee surgery because from an accident!

from san andreas to providencia!





















we flew out to these beautiful carribean islands without realizing that they are so far removed from colombian mainland that they have their own weather season and unlike the rest of colombia it is the rainy season here. and boy did it rain!
we spent new years on the beach in providencia,off and on rain with inbetween beautiful starry skys. we rented a small house for $25 cnd per day and a motobike.
