Punter Gallinas, Colombia
18.02.13
We were up at 4.30AM after not much sleep from the hammock and bundled into the back of a 4x4 to make our way across the desert to ´Punter Gallinas´ the North most point in Colombia. A flat tyre at 6AM meant we could all get out and watch the sunrise. After 5 hours of horrendously bumpy, invisible roads, we passed thousands of cactus, wild goats and a few indigenous Wayuu people. The landscape is breathtaking and we spent the afternoon on 60ft sand dunes which you can run down into the ocean. Another night of star gazing in the ´hammaca´followed by another sunrise, 3 in a row isn't bad.
Cabo de la Vela, Colombia.
16.02.13
A friend and I decided on venturing up to the North most point in South America. The first stop was ´Cabo de la Vela´in the Guajira Peninsula. Along the way we met a French couple, an Italian, a Dutch lady and a German magician. It took about 5 hours to get here by bus, collectivo and 4 x4. Its a peaceful place with pristine, calm waters. There´s no electric or running water very often, the place felt like a ghost town.
Cartagena, Colombia
09.02.13
Cartagena is an enchanting city that sits on the Caribbean coast. The architecture hasn't changed much since the 17th century which makes it a great place to get lost for the afternoon and admire the beautiful buildings. Another fun way to see the city is to hire a bike and cycle outside the old walls and along the coast.The beach isn't great here but the water sure is warm.

I bloody love a sunset - Montanita, Ecuador
02.01.13
We spent New Year in Montanita which was absolutely loco. Surfers all take to the water at midnight, fireworks are lit and paper mache sculptures are burnt. It was definitely a NY I will never forget.
We spent a few days on the beach watching the surfers do their thing. We were usually too hungover to have a go, woops.
Huacahina, Ica, Peru
13.12.12
Miles of sandy dunes surround this small natural lake in ´Huacahina,´nick-named the ´Oasis of America´. It´s such a relaxing place, I could have stayed for days.
A group of us hired a sand buggy along with a driver and sped over the dunes, which are around a hundred feet high. It was so much fun but unfortunately way to bumpy and sandy to bring the camera along. We also had a go at the sand boards, the baby slope was enough for me!
