Colombia and Ecuador

After this adventure in Kunas territory, we arrived in Colombia with all the bad things we heard in Europe and with all the good things we've heard from the traveler. Let's just say it was sort of a mix between a magical place full of faeries giving candies and one of dragons giving diarrhea.

It was all surprises when we arrived in Cartagena with its amazing old town, super rich sky lines and some of the finest almuerzo (lunch)... I let you discover the pictures, they do talk for themselves.

Cartagena !!
During this stay, we've met many nice people. We will think particularly about Kaspar (half French, half German), Camille (a traveler who uses very few backpackers hostel by asking for a shelter to locals), Sam (A Londoner who looooves very old books), Nergiz (German music junky) and Anne-Sophie (german sarcastic girl with a french name) and (finally, last but not least) Marion (who was working in Quito and who gave us many advice for Ecuador).

Kaspard, Thinking !!!

Marion, Smiling?

Despite our good surprised in the country, we had to rush a bit and took a flight to Cali (where we learned how hard it is to find a post office...) and then: straight to Ecuador!

Ecuador was a blast where Quito (our first city) stand out with its baroque churches (in which you are not welcomed for mass...).

It's here where we finally enroled Francis, the Bavarian, and two Canadians to follow us in next adventure...
