Paw Paw - Log Day 7: Welcome to Colombia



By 0200 we were tied up, had our flags flying, enjoying our celebratory drink and chatting to Keenan. By 0330 we were dead to the world, but awoke to the beautiful Santa Marta Marina and surrounding landscape with the realisation that we were actually in Colombia - our first destination of our World ARC adventure! We couldn't wait to explore and our wish was soon granted. After completing the usual clearing in formalities, but ably assisted by the friendly marina staff, instead of the usual drudge around the various Customs, Immigration and Port Authority offices, as well dropping off our laundry, it was back to tidy up Paw Paw before taking the City Tour arranged by WARC for us. What a great introduction to this country and it's history! Although everyone was still sleep deprived, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the Museo Etnografico, the Cathedral de Santa Marta and the Hacienda de Simon Bolivar. We topped off the evening with a delicious meal of Pescado en Salsa de Mariscos, washed down with local beer (Roy) and margarita (Elaine) before heading to bed for some much needed sleep.
