Colombia - un pais un poco loco!

We have safely arrived in Cali, Colombia and are enjoying the heat, great coffee and very friendly and helpful people everywhere. Unfortunately, the Colombians speak Spanish at about 400 miles an hour and there is not a chance in the world to understand a thing. But we are trying!

IMPORTANT: No need to worry about us - everything feels very safe and under control. HONEST MUM and Rebecca! :-)

We are going to spend a few days in the Zona Cafetera to learn more about the famous Colombian coffee and how it is made before we head to Bogota for a few days. Then we will fly (oh what luxury! No more night busses!!!) to Cartagena for a beach and heat fix before heading to the opposite end of the country to explore the Amazon from Leticia. On the 22nd of August we will then take a boat down the Amazon all the way to Manaus in Brazil and will hopefully not miss our return flight out of Sao Paulo on the 28th. It is shocking how quickly the time has passed. I cannot believe we only have 4 weeks left! Naturalmente, we will make sure we make the most of it - I will keep you updated!
