Here we are again

The travelling cats are at it again. 2026 A little older, a bit less wiser but eager to get amazed and overwhelm their senses. Just 9 days to go. Just 9 days to the year of the horse and our trip to Singapore and the peninsular Malaysia. Planes, buses, trains, car, boats all will be used and maybe the horse will guide us through the first days of it's year as it means freedom, energy, and speed . We are flying with BA out to Singapore and with Cathays back from KUL to London

3 weeks in Colombia and Peru What's the verdict

Our 3 weeks have come to an end. It was a colourful and beautiful trip. These type of trips require planning. On purpose we had left some flexibility around Cartagena and the jungle in Peru. The only real hiccups were some cancellations from accommodations 2 weeks before Lima but also 1 day before we arrived to Cartagena. Would we have designed this trip differently with what we now know? Not much. The only difference is we would skip Barranquilla, fly from Medellin to Santa

Barranco and Al Toke Pez

Time to go to Barranco. Our bus today was straight forward both ways and without the traffic or aimless wanderings of the previous day....

Lima

Where does three weeks go? We are on the last leg of our trip now. 90 minute flight from Puerto Maldonado to Lima and a white-knuckle...

Playa Blanca, Baru Island.

It's not often that we do a coach trip, but today it seemed the easiest way to get some sand and sea. Collection from the hotel, an hour...

Getsemani

The colourful sister of Cartagena sits just outside the walls of the city. Smaller streets, more preserved colour and, depending where...

Cartagena

The walled city of Cartagena is nice, historic and unashamingly touristic. Still the preserved colonial buildings give it a charm and the...

Medellín

The murder capital of the 1990's, not so any more. We have spent two days exploring the city centre(yesterday) and Comuna 13 (today). The...

The bus from Salento to Medellin

I had to interrupt the previous post to show you live (almost) our trip to Medellin. The bus station is getting busy first thing with all...

Salento and a minor hiccup

Off to Bogota airport first thing in the morning. Called an Uber, there in 5 minutes, polite, cheaper than the official airport taxis. 15...

Day 2 Bogota

The streets come to life very early. Lively music blasting from street vendors and passing cars before 6am. Preparations were underway...

Bogota the Capital of color

Few hours of sleep and here we go. The place we stay is at the old centre a cute apartment chosen because is not far from the places we...
