I feel really sad leaving Colombia. We've been here so long it feels like we're finishing a holiday.
We planned to stay here two weeks. We stayed six. We still didn't do nearly all we could have.
The land itself is a stunning place of mountains, valleys, beaches, jungles, remote villages, quaint towns, vibrant cities and most importantly, beautiful, friendly people.
They dearly love their country and take a great pride in showing off its fresh, new face to the world.
We'll try to pass their message on to everyone we meet and hope this has been a good start.
It's difficult not to resort to guidebook hyperbole, like what I just done, but it is a country best to be breathed in and bewitched by, rather than blogged.
It is bigger than you imagine, better than you could expect, and totally, totally different to what you think you know.
Ecuador has a lot to match up to.
Sounds a hell of a place ,must have been good if you decided to stay 6 weeks.Great fotos on facebook of you both.They did well in world cup must have been great to be part of the countries celebrations and misery on the football front.Makes a difference when kind friendly people around you will have met plenty like that.I often think the powerful warmongering people should do what you and kim are doing get amongst the real people with real lives and experience real life.The buggers may change there outlook a bit,maybe utopia but not a bad place to be.Rant over keep on keeping on!!xx all on Hillheads .
