Day 35 – Halifax

Friday May 11th, 2012 Leave a Comment

A quiet day today – we had decided to hang around the hotel and relax for a bit after being out every day over the past week or so. Leanne spent some time putting a few loads of washing on while I looked after the kids. The hotel provides a washing machine that the guests … [Read More »]

Day 34 – Armenia to Bogota

Day 34 – Armenia to Bogota

A very early start today – we had a driver coming at 9:00am to take us to the airport for our flight to Bogota.

Day 32 – Salento and Cocora Valley

Another early start this morning – Gustavo picked us up at 9:30am (when I say early start – I mean we were up early to get ready to leave at 9:30am – takes a while to wrangle these two kids into getting ready!). We drove through the city of Armenia, then up into the hills … [Read More »]

Day 31 – Quindio Jardin Botanico

We got to sleep in a little today (very little – the kids still don’t get the concept of sleeping in!) – we asked Gustavo to pick us up at 10:30am and drive us to the Quindio botanic gardens and butterfly house. Gustavo took us on a leisurely drive through the outskirts of Armenia, then onto … [Read More »]
