Cartagena Coppers

Hey there all, now it seems we have managed to leave the wave of natural desrutction behind us! HURRAH! I hear you cry, and the Peruvians are probably happy too!

We are now in Cartagena the old city is amazingly beautiful, I wandered around yesterday afternoon and got lost in the maze of beautiful streets, obviously, I found my way back again! Back in the day they had built a large wall to keep the enemy out, most of it still stands today and the architecture is absolutley stunning.

Diving..... well we arrived here thinking it was going to be great, but the vis is not, and its quiet rough and expensive so its off the books. Personally I dont want to dive if Im not going to see anything! I think I have been spoilt by Egypt.

Well its been kinda uneventfull of sorts here as, we had a party the first night we got here, and then in the morning my phone and camera got stolen....... GREAT!
Well its only a phone, and the only really shit part about that is I have been going to check the time (DOH!) and text certain people :(
Attachments gone! I dont feel so bad about that! which is a very freeeing feeling. The camera, well it was starting to die anyhow, so maybe I can get a better one with the insurance $$$.
Anyhoo more of a hassle than anything else as I have had to mess around for the last 2 days getting to cop stations getting reports made. I have a police report in spanish now!!! I feel so special! Freinds of the police again!!! Contacting telstra (ghee that was fun and easy.....NOT)insurance blah blah blah. Glad its done now i can move on.
Everyone at hostel believes staff to be very dodgey, but all other places are full. The staff at hostel have been completely unhelpful, they blamed to girls who left that morning.... hmmm.... personally I blame the staff!!!!
As someone else had their iphone nicked the week before and 3 weeks prior to that the whole hostel was held up by a gang.
At least they only got my stuff and not us huh!
So Colombians ... nah dont trust em!
Oh yeah in all my years of travelling this is the first time I have been robbed, so I think Ive done pretty well. I just gotta see if I can find a multi country charger for Steveo, dunno how thats gunna go, maybe I could ask the staff at the hostel!!!! Bahhhhaahahahahahaaaaaa!

So we are heading to a beach today to do nothing for 3 days before we get back on the tin birds to come home!!!
We leave Barranquilla on the 12th (right as Carnivalle starts!! boo hiss!), Bogata, Santiago, on the 14th fly Santiago, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne arrival on the 16th.... phew thank gooddness I was able to get some Zolpiedems.... zzzzzzzzz
well thats it for the mo, as we are going to an island I dont think i will be online there and maybe not during transit... see what happens
Love you all xxxooo
