Colombia: Santa Marta - 16th to 18th January (Days 66 to 68)

On the 16th of January we woke up around 6am and had breakfast with our friends at their apartment. We also met their friend and his daughter, who were also staying with them at the same apartment, spending some holidays all together. 

After breakfast we walked to a shopping mall to get cash and got a bus to Buritaca, a beach close to Tayrona National Park that is at the end of a river. It was quite a long way, more than an hour bus ride and then around 20 minutes walk from the road to the beach, and when we got there we had to swim through the river to get to the other side of the beach. 

Colombia: Cartagena - 12th to 15th January (Days 62 to 65)

On the 12th of January we woke up and had breakfast at a bakery in the main square. We got all our bags and got a bus to Pereira terminal. In there we had a quick lunch and then waited for a local bus to the airport. 

While waiting for the bus (it was for more than 40 minutes as the frequency of this bus is pretty bad) we were hearing the guys shouting and announcing the destinations of the buses that were continuously coming into the bus stop. We finally got the bus and boarded the plane to Cartagena, which lasted less than an hour.
