Thank You Note To Cousin

Cartagena Isla Palma

flew After a brief stopover in Bogota to Cartagena we. Completely different world. English colonial style. But we went straight on 2 hours by boat to Isla Palma . 5 days all inclusive rest were on the program. The trip there is recommended only people who are not seasick. As I said, 2h, wave after wave with the best reggaton full volume. What do you get offered?
little people (only two Europeans), water from 18:00 to 9:00 clock, really good, and above all, very much food, 4 bars, the cocktails in the original ratio mix, very friendly staff, a bit of English here and there An island with history, beautiful beaches, false breasts, noses and so on, diving school (PADI license for 200 €), Dinner (never visited), Wind Surfing included, a zoo, lots of rest and salt on our skin. The rooms are ok. The essentials. The bathroom was located in us the top and was designed to be open. Thus was showering and toilet outdoors. Very nice. In the 5 days we were here, we have fully recovered. The highlight was the diving taster. 2 hours, good coach, up to 4 meters down and coral on display. Fantastic. The island holds some surprises her own support. One wonders, first, how the various animals such as flamingos, dolphins, bouquets and even the deer come. Ricardo, outside right, had the statement. The island was owned by a member of the Medellin cartels, who has fulfilled his dream, so to speak. Immediately came up "Blow" memories. Besides dolphin, crocodile and shark tank, there Buffalo, turtles, parrots, etc. Also, a bizarre cave opens into a main hall. In this hall is a monumental high aquarium, an estimated 30 feet in diameter and about 5 meters. Huge, but as you can see the expiration delivered. It is made efforts, but no one has the money.

Who wants to have an idea or some information about the aforementioned "Blow", which I can following interview with George Jung recommend. Plays a different view on the person who was portrayed by Johnny Depp.

Difference Between A Coma And Paralysis

Parque Natural Amacayacu

From Leticia, we went by speed boat to the National Park "Amacayacu" Available on Decamaron, transfer is included. Leticia it takes about 2 hours, but only because many stations on the road to be approached. A tip to get timely ensures a 2-Bank. This is so good because the boat is usually filled to capacity. Then you sit on the back bench can be tight.

Comfort does not expect such a man. We had arrived, already receives a friendly crew of the park. The lodges ina Lodge booked for 4 people. There are also Dorm Rooms. Electricity is up 9 and 18 clock. The park has its own generators
. Breakfast 7:30, breakfast is served for all in the dining room. And since not disappointed, even here there is internet and television, but only prepared in Aufenthaltsraum.Mit much love. At large tables to get instantly into talk with the other guests and can swap ideas about possible trips. Here we met the first German. In general, we have enjoyed so many Europeans do not even meet. The people you encountered are you here but all on the same wavelength, clear who choose this route has pretty much the same idea of vacation.

What can and should do?

At the very beginning we did a night walk in a kayak. Accompanied by a local guide so almost slipped quietly into small tributaries through the night. Madness! The jungle is noisy. We see so many stars naja and by the way, the Guide reviewed by flashlight containing whether crocodiles are in the vicinity. 1 1 / 2 hours later it is back with a thousand impressions. The tour is like many other tours included.

The next day we went to a 4-hour jungle tour. A Guide, 3 Unsuspecting with only 4 bottles of water. Take any case with more! Start was in a neighboring village. There was first boots for everyone. After about 15 minutes, we knew why. Sometimes you sink up to half of the boot. With the guide we went so party into the jungle. After half an hour I was already at the limit. The incredible heat, the humidity and the tour itself was a blast. In part this is one over short of open space. The feel like as if you were in the sauna. The guide was very good, showed and explained us a lot, and went forward with quick steps. We were all on the limit, except him of course. This must be said that we all pursue a lot of sports, physical fitness is so fit, but the circumstances you just gather there. Our goal only this tree could be seen. Tree, tree, tree, when you come at last. After 2 hours we were there. The Guide would like to continue, but the tree was the target.


The next day was waiting for the next highlight. Pink dolphins. By boat, half an hour went upstream to a tributary of the Amazon, is at low tide to the lake. This allowed per day only 3 boats on it. We were alone. Alone on a huge lake. Then drive west on swimming and water to cool. Before long, could be the first dolphin look. Pink dolphins can be admired only in Colombia. They are larger than normal dolphins do not have such pronounced dorsal fin and have a loose head, which facilitates the search for food in the jungle at high tide. So we then drove about 45 minutes in the water, fascinated by the environment of silence and of course the dolphins, the rankamen to about 20 meters of us. It was fortunate we were until later elucidated in great detail about the various species in the Amazon, otherwise we would have made this trip not likely.

Requesting Year End Church Contribution

Leticia

After we had spent a night crossing in Bogota, we headed to Leticia. By plane you can fly once a day with Aero Republica. Delays, one must take into account, so einrechnen prefer that you are usually in the afternoon Leticia, if the flight is to go early. In any case, do not be mad. Stories like that machine could only end up until 14:00 in Leticia and it would be normal for the completely not take it so seriously! All hot air. And the more you get enough when you are there.

The approach is something special. You only see jungle and suddenly there is a teeny-down airport and whoosh you're there. It expects a wall of heat and humidity, and Kapas. Kapas is in Colombia for his very "Amazon advertising 'famous flagship Leticianer. The sight startled at first. A slightly older man very stout, long blonde hair (German father) and a confused accent. But, it fits there as chalk and cheese. To avoid bad surprises

, we had booked the "Decamaron Decalodge Ticuna" . A dream, and really unlikely in this environment. The lodges have lots of room, a nice clean bathroom and television, Hammock, oh, everything. A swimming pool, which we have used rt sofo a small cooling to obtain. The national food is included and excellent. The kind of juice taste.

But in any case, the possibility to use the place to eat. And do not forget sunscreen! The sun Europeans are simply not used to. Half an hour too much can have serious consequences. Another highlight is the ability to take advantage of the triangle to use. The hotel is 10 minutes walk to Brazil and Peru as well. There is no border crossing and one can always have one foot set in other countries. This is only for Leticia. Otherwise of course, a normal entry is required.
