Santa Marta Columbia

We Finally got our motorhome after hours of going here and there for this paper to be signed and that person to inspect and many fees to be paid.  Took several days.  But all was in order.  We really enjoyed the vibrant city of Cartagena.  It is veery European with a Caribbean influence.  The fort is 15th century called Fort Fellipe.  The traffic in the city was aggressive with busses everywhere.  We have now moved north east to the coastal city of Santa Marta.  Our motorhome is backed up to the Caribbean and the view is like a postcard.  The Columbian military is here and gives us a smiling thumbs up.  We even had a police escort when we were kinda lost in a big city.  We are quite a curiosity.  The only motorhomes people have seen here are on T.V.  They come close to investigate our signs and some ask to look inside. 
One lady spoke some english and wanted to make sure we knew that "This is Columbia!!" not what you read about.
Stay cool

  1. Sounds like the adventure continues!! I'm glad to hear the people in Columbia are so friendly and helpful. It makes you realize how one sided the news stories that we hear really are. Send pictures when you get a chance!!
