Day 122 - Found the Lost City (Ciudad Perdida)

Sat, 18 Oct 2014 | By kikkijayne | Views [423]

Sat, 18 Oct 2014 | By kikkijayne | Views [814] | Comments [1]

Woke up cold for the first time in ages after a not very restful hammock slumber. We crossed Rio Buritaca a few times today. Shoes on & off & eventually shoes drenched. Everything drenched really as the water was waist deep & it rained most ... Read more >

Day 117 - Cartagena

Wed, 24 Sep 2014 | By kikkijayne | Views [288]

Managed to start the day with a run from Old Town to the Marina. It was so bloody hot I don't think I cooled down all day & given I hadn't run since Santa Catalina it was a bit more of an effort than usual! Headed for strong Colombian coffee &... Read more >
