After a long night bus from Bogota we reached Salento just when the sun was going up, flooding the small, sleepy Salento with warm light. No one was on the streets as we were heading to our lodge, leaving us the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and the beautifully colored houses without any interruption: […]
Amazing sea life : dolphins, manta rays, loots of (my favorites) porcupine fish, lion fish, water snakes, lobsters, moray eels …did I say dolphins? Beautiful relief of colorful corals: small hills, pyramids, plains, caves and underwater tunnels, hills again… Excellent spots with boat wrecks, statues, parts of crashed planes. Perfect conditions: 25-30 m of visibility, […]
I read a lot about Bogota before visiting it and I was actually expecting more from a capital that is actually compared by some with San Francisco, Washington DC or Berlin. Yes, it is big! And yes, the idea of a city at more than 2500 m above sea level, spread on hills and mountains […]
Colors! Colors! Many colors!!! Different colors from house to house, small, narrow streets, beautiful pastel-colored paintings found on the lower half of nearly every building, laid-back, peaceful, smiling people, incredible coffee smell…welcome to Guatape, an amazing small town surrounded by Antioquia’s green hills and fresh water lakes. We felt in love at first sight! Just […]
Imagine a city that lies on more than 380 km2 in a valley between 2 majestic mountain ranges, with houses stoke one to another and people wandering around like in a swarm. Beautiful and scary at the same time, this is Medellin, considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world in the 90s. […]
Colors, music, people singing and/ or dancing, sun, good food, no English…this is what Cartagena is all about…completely different from what we’ve seen so far in Asia or USA and of course much closer to Spain or Italy. Cartagena was the first Spanish colony on the American continent and one of the first sanctuaries of […]
Our American adventure culminated with a new road-trip with The Cats, a weekend full of friendship, love, casinos, country music and stunning sceneries between California and Nevada! We reached Reno late at night and checked-in at a casino-hotel. We did not play, but just walked around. I actually found it sad: mostly older people, alone, […]
How could we be in California without visiting its wineries and tasting its wines? We couldn’t! If you know The Bear and The Zeb, with their “Frenchie” background, you know they loooove good wines! So a road trip to Napa & Sonoma Valleys was absolutely mandatory! The weather was great and the landscapes comparable with […]
Clear blue skies and sun every day in the city, with foggy afternoons in the surrounding areas! Not too cold, not too hot, just requiring a hoodie at hand for the windy bays. Cats, you’ve made a wonderful decision to move in this corner of the world! So far, I would put SF on the […]
How long have I been waiting for such a trip! Yes, we’ve been on 2 continents already, almost 10 countries, most of the time on the road. However 99% of the time it was just the 2 of us – The Bear and The Zeb…which is amazing…but sometimes you just miss sharing moments and experiences […]
