Colombia 4ever!


Two years ago (January 14th of 2017) I went to San Andres Island, a little and exotic island in Centro America, which depends of Colombia’s direction. This small but beautiful land has an extraordinary ocean, mostly known as “the seven blue ocean”. Also, their people, who don’t feel identified as Colombian, are so nice and warm with foreigners, especially if you are Chilean.

This picture isn't my, it's from internet but worth to appreciated the sea and its seven color
I' was there for fifty days and I stayed in a Hotel at the west coast… such a lovely place with a huge pool and so much stuff that I can’t remember. The Hotel is called "Mar y Sol" and has 4 stars or that’s what on-line pages said. As you can see, it's very popular but, as you know nothing is perfect. This building has only one problem, its location is very far away from downtown (well, I’m not talkin’ about huge city or any stuff like that) so, any morning we had to get out very early (nearly to 6:30 a.m), has breakfast and then, take the hotel’s bus, which left us two or three blocks down from the main street.

For this time, I traveled with my aunt and her daugthers, my parents and brother stayed in Chile. It was my first trip out of the country without them I was so happy jajaja. My aunt is very weird so she made a schedule. Everyday we had different activities, for example: we were walking from the hotel to the east coast for two or three hours, looking at trees and houses and talking with native people (funny story: some people, especially foreigners, asking me for directions or best San Andres’ landscapes. They thought that I was from there ‘cause of my skin. A little racist but I don’t blame them, this things always happen to me), at the first moment I was like: what were we doing?, but when you saw the beach, trees, exotic animals and stuff, the three hours that we walked was the best time that I wasted it in my entire life.

Ah, I almost forgot. If you go to San Andres, you MUST go to Johnny Cay and drink Crazy Coco!

Scotland

Hi, it's me: Nicolás Simi and this is my firt post.
Edinburgh 

Today I'll talk to you about the country that I want to visit as soon as I can (why am I poor?). I'm talking to Scotland and the Highlands, where the fairy tails that our grandmothers tell us are real and, between Irland and Scotland, the last one is more accessible with so many landscape to see and visit it. 







The Calanish Stone
Highlands, fairy tails and stuff 

Loch Ness lake
Scotland became a dream when I saw the serie "Outlander", which talkin' about a british girl decided to go to the Highlands of Scotland for their honey moon with her husband ( I don't wanna give details about the serie because is not the goal), so the serie show us the best places of Scotland, for example: Stone Circle like The Calanish Stone, Castles and British Forts like the Fort George,  famous lakes who have an interesting history with creepys, and also beautifuls creatures (The Loch Ness monster is one of the most recognized them)  and magic forest. 

Also, if you are interested of the Nordic culture, Scotland in their highlands have a lot influence which we can see in the people's culture, their house style and their mythology. Also, the populations are small so I won't have to deal with people and live alone with the peace that I want. 

If you are interested, don't call me because I won't help you 'cause I'm really bussy but I recomend you sto see "Outlander" serie and enjoy this beautiful country. 
By it away, don't touch the stones.
C'ya soon, S.
