Arrived safe and sound in Sanata Marta after having to get off the bus twice to get searched at gunpoint by FARC gorillaz and Gov troops respectivly. Interesting experience as used to having a gun of my own. Had to explain why I had mace and a police issue baton but managed to ninja my way through. Checked into the hostel with Kris (Belgian chick im travelling with) and hooked up with the Kiwi crew and the Ozzy girls.

Tried to get some flights booked to Brazil from here but didnt feel like dropping 1000 bucks on the flight so going to get the bus through Venuzala (sp) tomorrow (maybe next day). Not route that i had planned but quite glad I skipped the jungle boat as Niall just got robbed blind and said it was hellish!!

Had a good day at the beach today but forgot that i refilled the factor 30 suntan with 15 and am now back to lobster boy but not sore at all so hopefully will be on the way back to being brown bean tomorrow!!

Off for a sesh tonight as the ozzy girls are leaving tomorrow...more later!
