Bo
arrived in Cusco in January 2004 and by February the whole family were
all in Colombia, along with Felix.
Quick Spanish lesson: “Hay = there is” and “No Hay =
no there isn’t, no it is not possible, or its too hard, or why ask
me?”
Though
Bo didn’t appreciate at the time, we were in a land of “HAY.”
That is opposed to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia – which are countries
of “NO effin’ HAY” (thanks Ted Simon!)
On Mum’s sixtieth we went paragliding in Medellin!!! What a way
to celebrate. And then onto the gorgeous Caribbean Coast.
Bo’s dentist in Oz had helpfully told him that Colombia had the
best dentists in the world – and so when mum broke a tooth –
she was the best place to be. So after Carnaval in Baranquilla
mum headed back to Cartagena for her dental work (and what was to end
up as 3 months in Colombia) while Bo headed to Rio and Felix and I back
to Peru.
Colombia
is definitely the number one friendly, beautiful, incredible country in
South America… and hey, perhaps even the world.
