Is It The Real… Or Unreal World?

Published on July 5, 2011 By Steve

Our last post was May 31 and here we are on Canada’s Birthday July 1st wondering where the last month evaporated. Having arrived in Miami on June 1, making a big mistake with an online hotel booking that put us in a flea-pit hotel for a night, retrieving Pumper from customs and the port was [...]

‘Don’t Worry… Be Hippie’

Published on May 31, 2011 By Steve

There are worse places to be cooling our heels than Cartagena Colombia while Pumper sails back to the US. We raved about this place in earlier blogs and it’s great to spend more time taking in this beautiful colonial city… and getting some beach and pool time. We’ve had lots of invitations to stop en [...]

We have arrived in Cartagena after an exhausting 5 day slog from Ecuador.. but more on that ordeal later! Life seemed sweet apart from the small issue of the stifling heat and humidity… How easy one forgets!! Stripped naked .. One has to do what one has to do.. Lets face it Pumper is nothing [...]

Pumper Saves The Day…

Published on April 28, 2011 By Steve

Waking up to a sudden warm rush and glow I notice with total astonishment flames all but engulfing Pumper… Steve is hard at work making the morning coffee on the new gasoline stove: operator error he informs me as I watch in horror and wonder if Pumper’s paint job is now one big bubble! … [...]

Semana Santa Warm Up…

Published on April 21, 2011 By Steve

In Colombia they say there is only one place to be for Semana Santa… Popayan!! .. How lucky are we !! Ramping up for the big festival, we are hanging out in a rather wet and soggy but magnificent ‘Silvia’.. A village plucked from another time where the indigenous ‘Guambino’ people hang proudly to their [...]

Generosity And Rain By The Truck Load…

Published on April 16, 2011 By Steve

Groans of delight as I inhale the culinary delights of Colombia (Steve complains that I am rather sounding like an olde woman with the mmm’s and aaah’s of ecstasy! ) But this pales in comparison to the groans and orgasmic grunts from the left brained engine lovers we run into as they come up close [...]

Medellin Magic…

Published on April 12, 2011 By Steve

Medellin: “The Colombian city that exudes pride with the ‘Paisas’ as the locals are known affectionately!! Add to that, an almost perfect climate year round.  (Ok… possibly a little wet and soggy at times!! When it rains it pours, literally) A vibrancy that seduces the senses and a welcoming spirit that will suck you in and [...]

Bogota Bounty.

Published on April 11, 2011 By Steve

Spoilt just does not begin to describe it !! …saying this time and time again in Colombia, and the pure bounty of blogs and the mountain of images surely affirm our enjoyment! Our new found family of VW lovers and enthusiasts in Bogota were about to take it up a notch. Actually hit it out [...]

Realities And Recovery, Colombia Style…

Published on April 8, 2011 By Steve

“To visit Tunja (Toon-ha) is to admire in one place, the most spectacular collection of the artistic and cultural legacy at the heart of the country… Tunja is the living heart beat of the rich History that is Colombia” Built in 1571 Convento De Santa Clara La Real, is a place that leaves you so [...]

Phalic Stone Wotsits…!

Published on April 1, 2011 By Steve

Now to check out the ritual site noted for large phallic stone monoliths!! Say what?? Many were destroyed, and in a deliciously ironic twist, some of the ‘penis’ themed rubble was incorporated into the local convent walls!! Juicy or what!! Can’t help but give those Nuns a real big smile ..x “Villa De Leyva (Via [...]
