TAYRONAS/ SANTA MARTA
So we are in Colombia and welcome to the Caribbean Sea! We bussed our butts off through the bulk of Colombia up to the top.....our first port of call was Tayronas Park, a National Park/ Jungle that edges onto deserted beaches! A mission to get to after walking for 40mins in the jungle heat...but worth it and totally beautiful. Stayed in hammocks out in the open, watched a ridiculously amazing thunder and lightening storm on our first night....none of us had ever experienced anything like it before, spent 5 days lazing on the beach tanning, reading, swimming. We love the Caribbean.
We found a random bakery in the on the edge of our beach, nestled into the jungle. Just a wooden shack with a wood fire oven......but with great chocolate filled bread! So each morning we headed here for Pan de Chocolate and a short black coffee.
Us swimming in Paradise a little way round from our beach. Us and only two others were on this massive beach. The water is sooooo warm!
Us back in the main town, Santa Marta, an hour away from Tayronas. Cool town on the beach....experienced mega cheerleading practice/ shows as a competition was on when we where there (´Bring it On´ styles). The town was totally packed...very social place, everyone hangs near the beaches especially on this day as it turned out to be a public holiday. The beach was jamma!

The veiw from our hammocks....we woke to this every morn.
Our beach.....pretty rugged surf. A more tranquillo beach was a little walk away from here but we quite liked the surf.
