  • Medellin and the Colombian Coffee Region After leaving Tagana for a second time we got a night bus to Medellin, Colombia's second largest city. Medellin is set in a valley and is surrounded by beautiful hills but the city itself is not the most picturesque Posted by elliemike in Ellie and Mike's Trip | Sep 23, 2008
  • I am teaching English, y estoy aprendiendo Espanol. I got beat in Snakes and Ladders three times today. I started teaching English to an 8 year old boy named Aldo Fernando this morning. He is the cousin and nephew of my landlords. Let's just say Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Sep 21, 2008
  • Colombia The border crossing was quite slow and painful, and when we eventually got across we had to get a bus into Santa Marta. Unfortunately, the driver forgot to tell us when we'd got there so we went too far Posted by Steve-Kay in Our looooooooong Honeymoon! | Sep 20, 2008
  • Everyday life Time is going faster and faster lately. When I first arrived and was only in Bogota for 2 weeks, I felt as if I'd been here for at least 2 months. But here I am now, and the Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Sep 18, 2008
  • Colombia - the Caribbean Coast We arrived in South America by plane and not by boat as we had hoped but were immediately impressed by the colonial city of Cartagena. The flight itself was an interesting experience as the plane was tiny (for a commercial Posted by elliemike in Ellie and Mike's Trip | Sep 16, 2008
  • the adventure so far In what has only been 10 days of travel, I already feel as though I've seen so much. Like a kid in a candy store, everything is exciting to me and I want to sample it all. Auckland is a beautiful Posted by dancordner in South American Adventures | Sep 15, 2008
  • Dia de amor y amistad The good news is that tomorrow is a jeans day, which means I don't have to dress like a teacher. The bad news is that I have to dress as a hippie because that is the requirement for tomorrow's Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Sep 11, 2008
  • A "Bazaar" Weekend The school has been preparing for the annual bazaar for about two weeks now. Each grade is in charge of selling one food item (very typical Colombian food). I expected the fest to be fairly small, with a Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Sep 6, 2008

  • Singing, dancing, watching Batman To counteract my lonely weekend last week, I had a really good weekend this time. On Friday I hung out with some of the other faculty members from the school at the apartment of Henry (one of the librarians). Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Aug 31, 2008
  • What I have done on the weekends! This is me at my friend Jime's vacation house in a town about 4 hours from Bogota called Giradot. It's much hotter there because it is not in the mountains like Bogota. [img=http://www.t Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Aug 19, 2008
  • Ruffled feathers We pulled ourselves out of Salento after some much needed relaxation time. Our travel pace has been rigorous thus far, never staying more than 3 nights in any one place, but this seemingly endless cycle of packing, finding a bus, Posted by Sabrosa684 in Mother H | Aug 17, 2008
  • One week down... Well, I'm writing this as I prepare lesson plans for the first bimester (5 weeks long). I will be so happy after these are planned, as I felt very disorganized the past week. But I am not the Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Aug 17, 2008

  • I love Java, I love tea Cali was enjoyable simply because of the lovely French-Colombian couple who owned our hostel. They helped us with all manner of things and were always eager to chat about the country. The city itself had little to offer other than Posted by Sabrosa684 in Mother H | Aug 10, 2008
  • Colombia / Chile / New Zealand I'm in the final throws of my travels round South America. I'm devastated. I have already tried to change my flight from Santiago to Auckland, but to no avail. It's a busy route and one that is obviously booked up Posted by spacebooth in Esther's Adventure | Aug 10, 2008
  • Dazed and Confused Our time spent in Lima was much like the city´s weather, dreary. I spent most of the time in my head thinking about what I should do once I get back to the States. Five months seems to be too Posted by Sabrosa684 in Mother H | Aug 8, 2008
  • The coast Spent my first day in Bogota wondering round looking at all the old buildings and making tuna sandwiches was very nice and felt quite safe which surprised me after all the horror stories id heard at home about colombia. Sat around Posted by Blue eyes in Jo in South America!! | Aug 7, 2008
  • Soy una profesora. So my first day of school was also my first trip to the nurse's office. I stepped out of my house today and could already tell I was going to get blisters if I had to walk far. Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Aug 4, 2008
  • Colombia I jump in a cab outside the Marlin bound for the Cartagena bus station. It seems to take ages to get there. I'm certain I'm being kidnapped, I get out my all my money and credit cards etc and hide Posted by spacebooth in Esther's Adventure | Aug 2, 2008
  • Bogota, here I am Well, I made it. I arrived in Bogota at around 9pm last night, and Jime and her brother picked me up from the airport. I stayed with Jime's family last night, and her mom invited me to stay Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Jul 29, 2008
  • Cartegena As soon as we got off the plane at Cartagena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartagena%2C_Colombia) (pronounced Carta-hey-na) the heat hit us like walking into greenhouse in summer. By the time we got to our hotel I was already looking like I’d bee Posted by oharridge in South America | Jul 29, 2008
  • Bogota part 2 We stopped at the delicious stawberries & cream place on the way back to Bogota and the coffee table bedded hotel. We were going to see the new Indiana Jones (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/) film that night - a film I had been excited Posted by oharridge in South America | Jul 29, 2008
  • Villa de Leyva So we headed out of Bogota on a local chartered coach to the town of Villa de Leyva (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_de_Leyva). A small town, popular with tourists, it was built in the seventeenth century then abandoned after the revolution an Posted by dee d in South America | Jul 28, 2008
  • Colombia Hola amigos, The thought of leaving my new friends is almost too much to handle. I will miss them more than you could imagine. I'm also slowly coming to the realization that it's not always about where you're travelling, but whom Posted by spacebooth in Esther's Adventure | Jul 27, 2008
