[slideshow] January 22 – 29 A whole week of absolute relaxation, dips in the pool, suntanning, and reading. Now this is what vacations are for, just ‘being’. After all we are human beings, not human doings!😂😂 I didn’t do a daily blog as the routine didn’t vary much each day. […]
[slideshow] January 18 Up early and looking forward to our trip to Santa Marta. We had a coffee downstairs and Skyped with Fero’s brother, Lubo & Elena, while we waited for the MarSol shuttle to pick us up. The puerta a puerta (door to door) service is excellent and not […]
[slideshow] Up early, today is the day we head back to the old city and take a Hop-on Hop-off tour to see a bit more of the area. We walked the 2km to town and waited for the bus to come by as we were early. A local fellow was […]
[slideshow] Our last day in Medellin and I will miss it – I quite like this city and could certainly spend more time here! Following breakfast we take a walk a little further into El Poblado district. Within a few blocks there are streets lined with disco, after disco and […]
[slideshow] Ahhh Medellin, the ‘City of Eternal Spring’, what a lovely city. The majority of people live in apartments or condominiums from the valley right up to the peaks surrounding the city.

[slideshow] Buenos Dias all. It has been a lovely, leisurely three days and therefore not too much to write. The town of Marsella is a gorgeous colonial town which is very quiet until the sun goes down. At that time, the people flock to the central plaza, the conversation (and […]
[slideshow] Buenos Dias. Another glorious day in Colombia. The clouds have disappeared and the sun is shining. Following breakfast we say our good byes to our new friends, the staff – Monica (Moni as she likes to be called), Marta, Lenora, Antonio, Guillermo, and Juan Pablo, and pay our bill. […]
[slideshow] Slept right through until 7am, so peaceful last night! We met everyone again at breakfast and said our farewells to Russell & Wendy and John & Denise. We have asked if we can listen in once again to some of the coffee tour as there was so much information […]
[slideshow] Buenos Dias! We awoke to birds singing, and the smell of freshly washed air after last night’s rain. So lovely not to wake up to an alarm. Breakfast was hearty with eggs, toast, cereal, juice and, of course, as much coffee (Hacienda Venecia coffee!) as you wish. […]
