Just packing up to depart Bucaramanga (actually Floridablanca) for Santa Marta in order to get on board the hike to Ciudad Perdida. I purchased hiking shoes and a sleeping bag for the trek, as well as a new pair of sweat pants, which essentially equates to an overflowing and painfully heavy backpack. I desperately need to sort through my belongings and chuck what I don´t need- which is practically 3/4 of what I have, but I´m a girl, what can I say?
I spent the past few days relaxing with Tania and her family, as well as Jonas from Switzerland. We shopped for my trek gear, hung around the pool near Tania´s house, watched some movies, and ate tons of delicious but very unhealthy food that is so typical here. Think: deep fried pork rinds, plantains, arepas (buttery deep fried corn patties), etc. I´ve also been enjoying the heat- the days are comfortably hot and the nights warm, with manageable humidity and occasional showers. I know what awaits on the coast though- insufferable heat and humidity.
In the event that I don´t post before I go on the 6 day trek, I would like to ask everyone not to worry- I have spoken to at least 20 people who have done the hike and there is practically no risk of anything bad happening. If I leave on Friday, I probably won´t post again until the following Friday. That´s all for now folks!
