In Santa Marta

Equatorial rains here… Went to a few beaches around and I’m very disappointed about them. I thought I was going to find find this coast of the Caribbean sea more “Caribbean”…you know what I mean… but the beaches are so dirty, with plastic bags and a lot of trash all around, the sand is just soil and not the real sand, with a brown color and the smell of shit. The water is very contaminated besides I haven’t seen fishes around. I was wondering how they can call it “PLAYA BLANCA!!!!! (white beach)” Shame on you!
Tomorrow I’ll be going to a National Natural Park called “Arecife” or something. They told me I will find the best beaches of Colombia, I’m really curious about this…
Meanwhile, I really don’t know where to go as my next trip… the problem is that flight tickets are so damn expensive around south and central america… I should be in Venezuela by November, so It seems I’m having a gap of 1 month in which I don’t know where to lay my ass on.

In Flantes

The weather is wonderful: it never rains, it is always hot, even during the night; yesterday night I slept on the hammock. I go to search woods, I swim and run every morning; I wake up at 7 o’clock and I go to bed early. I make the fire every night and I cook my dinner over there: meat or fish and barbecued bananas. The local people are simple and friendly. The crime is like inexistent. The life is almost perfect… but there is always a “but”…find it out in the next news…
I’m thinking of staying at this place to work on my personal book/diary as it is very quiet besides in the meanwhile I can get a very healthy life style. The only problem is that I’ve got only 30 days visa and I should start checking out how to extend it. A secondary problem is that the first internet-cafè is at more than 10km far from the house.
I also went to the small town nearby searching for a digital camera, but the prices are too high (about the double compared to Europe) so I think I’ll not buy one and unfortunately I cannot record cool videos even in this country; I hope to meet someone with the digital camera… Unless you readers want to make some donations… just click donate from the main menu!
