We´ve discovered rainy season. Yesterday´s journey to Tayrona national park was a bit to a letdown on a cloudy day, but still a fun adventure hiking in the jungle through mud up to our shins in some spots! We decided to do away with our sandals and just sink our feet into the lovely mix of mud and horse dung as it was getting on our feet anyway. The park entrance fee was about twice as much as we were expecting (Lonely Planet is full of lies!!) so it was hardly worthwhile to pay it if you weren´t staying overnight there. We´d already traveled over an hour to get to the park entrance though so we decided to suck it up and hike to the ocean.
Wherever we arrived was clearly not the great snorkeling spot we´d read about since getting into water that rough would surely result in immediate death! The waves were enormous, but it was fun watching them crash up against the rocks. It would have been nice to have a bit more time to explore the park, but we had to get back to Santa Marta to catch our night bus to Bogota.
Perhaps it was a bit risky to be taking a 16 hour overnight bus, in Colombia, on Friday the 13th, but we survived and have arrived in rainy Bogota! We´re hoping to hit up a salsa club tonight to watch (and possibly participate in) the fun. One club we were looking at going to had a four dollar cover charge (steep by Colombian standards!), but it included four beers. . . hahaha. I love this country!
