Santa Marta is my last stop before flying back home on Monday. Cali - Santa Marta: 1170 km, 2.5 hours on 2 planes, cost: 60 pounds. I changed in Bogota'. The airport in the capital is the worst one I have seen in my life. The last time they lost my luggage, this time we were waiting 2 hours to board the plane. Yeimmy who is a stewardess and flies a lot in the country, confirmed that. I think it will have to change soon as Bogota' is the centre of economic activity in the country and the airport should represent it.
It's amazing that in Colombia you have so many altitudes. In Cali the temperature is perfect, in Bogota' it was cold and now in Santa Marta it's hot.
Anyway... I luckily arrived in the town and I took a taxi to the family house of my hosts Jose' and his brother Arturo. Jose' studies journalism and he works for the local television. Arturo studies cinematography and he wants to make a film or to do something to develop Colombian cinema, little known in the world at the moment.
About Me

- I started writing my first blog when I left on a one-year solo trip to South America. I wanted to store my feelings and experiences, and it is lovely to come back to this blog now. When I returned to London, I decided to write another blog about my ordinary life and my short-term travels. This is because I want to store my feelings and experiences from London, alongside the pictures of my good friends - just in case I will move to another part of the world in the future.
