Guaduas cundinamarca Colombia odd city

Guaduas cundinamarca is a small town but really really rare.
I first made contact with this town a couple of months ago. I had to bring my car from Bogotá to Ambalema and I didn´t know wich way to chose so I headed to Honda knowing that the town was reachable from there, a really vague way of travelling, I know but this is my way , what can I do about it, anyway, sometimes this particular way of making desicions brings me to the most amazing places and situations.
The thing was that I departed from Bogotá at midnight all on my own in an oldy car that could run into problems any time, plus the security thing in Colombia, you can´t just drive your car the direction you place anytime, you have to be carefull not to transit ways where there have being guerrillas and that kind of situations. None of this kind of problems happened except for the fuel that runned out, i poured some more en kept on heading to Honda.
It was about 3 in the morning when I arrived at Guaduas, I was a little bit tired so I decided to sleep there. I found an hotel with a parking place but to my surprise the hotel keeper insisted that it was no use at all to open de parking door, she said nothing will happen to your car I warrantie that. She sounded really convincing, my car has no lock working and one of the glasses was blown out, so no security at all. I was tired as I said and didn´t want to go through so much hassle so I collected some things and got into my room.

In my room I had to think about the past, José Celestino Mutis himself travelled this same path at the back of horses and on a ship first. The little I could see was much of a colonialism impression, really nice though as you can see you are in a especial place , a place with history in its surroundings, a place with an Identity.

I took a shower and got some sleep. When I awoked it was 10 am, I felt fit and wanted to continue with my trip, went out got into my car I watched over my shoulder and guess what I saw, there was my mobile phone that I´d forgotten in the car.
For a moment hope came into my mind and body about this country, dude! that was like being in Canada or Somewhere in the netherlands.

I continued my trip along Honda,Mariquita,San felipe till I got to Ambalema, the so popular Mutis route that I was visiting.

Today I got know things about Guaduas, It was pouring with rain yesterday and today people from all over the town claim to have found gold down on the streets,how come?.
There are pictures and films about this subject and that was on the news today.

Honda Tolima Colombia a city above water

I had the opportunity to visit Honda yesterday due to the festivities being taking place.
The place is cool but it won´t be what it used to be cause there are winds of disaster blowing or let us say there are liquids of disaster flowing.
It seems that the place is crossed by many rivers that troughout the years have being draining earth and sand from below the city letting a huge whole that threats with sucking the whole town down.

Some are afraid of what might happen in the future and they already started selling their houses.
The place is nice tough, you should pay it a visit, one of the former presidents of colombia was born in this town.

The enchanted house in Ambalema

Since a long time ago they say that there´s an enchanted house in Ambalema Tolima down in Colombia. It all began when the contractors left aside work due to noises en strange things they got to see.
I´m planning on going with a couple of friends to find out about this place, we want to see what´s in there with our own eyes.

from Ibague to Neiva in 2 1/2 hour

I went to Ibague, I wannted to see my grandmother but at the moment I arrived she was planning a trip to NEiva,her good girlfriend was really ill, at her 80 years, her heart was half functioning half malfuntioning.

So we hit the road, but only now I realized how big Colombia is and how nice it is to travell in this country, the road heading to Neiva was straight so you had the opportunity to speed and so I did on my way back.
I took me just 150 minutes from NEiva to Ibagué with an speed average of 130kmph.

I wish I can go back to pick up my grandmo.

Live and work in spain

My relationship with Spain is kind of bitter sour. I love it because of the fact that it is lovely to visit a place which is located thousands of miles from your home country and where people happen to speak your home language, but on the other hand the same fact makes it to me a less interesting thing because the farther you fly the different things your expect to see in regards to the culture. I was born in Colombia and I grew up with most of the things Spanish people grew up with. We also have bullfights in Colombia which by the I don´t like partially because the part where the bull beats the shit out of the bullfighter I like. Don´t you think they deserve it?. We Colombians eat a lot just like Spanish people do. There are though some things that are a bit different between this two cultures. For instance Colombians won´t argue verbally that long, they would inmediately react violently and not only verbally, they will actually hit first and let the arguing for later.
Strangely enough Colombians are softer and mannered when speaking, Colombians do ask for a favor no matter what the position of the asked person is. Colombians do show respect while Spanish won´t ask a favor of a waiter, they will demand whatever they want. A waiter in spain won´t go making a gentle conversation with you before hi asks you what you want, An spanish waiter will go directly to the point and will ask you with urgence what do you want or they say "Diga Diga" wich means speak up! speak up!.
Anyway, first I tought they where just rude and not well educated persons but now I realize that this is just a cultural thing.

hot summer time in platja d'aro Costabrava

Summer 2008, the summer was hot down in Barcelona, really too hot. I went to Barcelona with a couple of friends to spend our holidays away from family job and school. We first found out about the camp sites in the Costa Brava where you can place a Caravan. Platja d´aro was the place we chose. That was the place with all the elements we where looking for. There´s a nudist spot, lots of dutch Disco's where you can go drink a liter beer for just one euro.

During the day we where to spend the day in the camp site with all the campers sipping pastis with a bounch of frech guys who where caravaning too. The nicest thing about getting drunk with those dudes at the campsite is that as soon as I got too much drunk then I could easily return to my motorhome crawling, it was just a couple of meters away. Next day we would laught about the day before and the things we did. A friend of mine got the word knaus tatooed in his faces. He got drunk en fell over the floor of the motorcaravan and inmediately fell asleep too with the sign knaus pressed onto his face.
