Near Tayrona NP, Colombia 🇨🇴

Woke early today and managed to easily book our shuttle, so we needn’t of worried. Pick up was at 9am and we were in Santa Marta by 1pm.   I managed to converse with the driver in enough Spanish to get us dropped outside our hostel. We are staying about 2km from the entrance of Tayrona park in a lovely hut up a green mountain. We have a great view of the jungle landscape but lugging my bag up to the room is hard work in this heat. It is about 35degrees but it’s the humidity that causes the problem. I also realise that my chocolate buttons are mush, so manage to blag some space in the freezer to ensure they can recover. 

First port of call is the pool, where we enjoy a cooling dip before lounging around reading for the rest of the day. Dinner tonight is at the hostel, they make a tasty pasta which goes nicely with a cold beer. We chisel the frozen buttons off the hardened block for dessert before heading to bed ready for our adventure tomorrow.
