I am planning my return to London on the 21st of February, when my Colombian visa expires. I don't want to travel any more, I am tired now. I also need a mental challange which is difficult to find in Colombia. What I mean by this is a productive conversation, about good and bad things in life (here people avoid talking about bad things).

Yesterday Orlando's nephew (who is two years younger than him) organised a farewell party. He lives in Italy and he is going back this evening. We went to a salsa club called Nuvo. I liked the place but I didn't like the music, it was too slow for me. I was told that this kind of music people dance to in Buenaventura on the coast, and they dance very closely. This is how Orlando and his brothers (who were born in Buenaventura) dance. In the picture: his cousins.
95 per cent of people in the club were black. I have been to clubs in Cali where almost everyone was black or where I was the only white person, which was an unusual experience.
