SA 28: Finding a tour for Ciudad Perdida – The Lost City
Today I awoke with a request from a client for some work so I spent the first part of the morning getting that done. Afterwards, I worked on my blog a bit. Taganga is a small fishing village just outside of Santa Marta and is full of tourists. It’s very quaint, safe, and quiet… with not much to do, but lounge around or head to Santa Marta for the really
SA 27: The rush to Colombia’s Emergency Room
Today I awoke and everyone was already out of the dorm room. I slept in and hung out around the hostel doing nothing for quite a while. I played on my laptop a little bit and talked to the people around me. I went to purchase some juice from the hostel and had it sitting next to me while I was talking with everyone.

SA 26: Arriving to Taganga
This morning I got up rather slowly. I spent some time packing up my belongings once again and getting ready for my bus ride to Taganga, Colombia.

My current hostel was empty while Viena’s was packed full. Popular place full of backpackers from all over the world. I walked around the streets of Cartagena de Indias to take in what this
SA 23: Ahoy! bienvenido Cartagena de indias
I’m still awake from 3am last night where I was on the bus sleeping. After my ipod battery was close to dead, I pulled out my laptop to catch up on blog entries in word and in the corner of my eye always watching out for that cockroach. The bus is actually fairly nice. It has a bathroom (without toilet paper) thankfully I put it in my day bag thinking
