On the road again
I have been in Quito now for about 4 months and frankly, I don't think I can take another second. The weather here has turned really gross - grey skies every day, cold, and rainy. So I have decided I need a change. I've decided I am going to the coast. Which coast? Where else? The Carribean coast - Colombia. I am really quite excited. The places I would like to hit include: Cartagena, Santa Marta, Bogota, Medellin, Cali, and the coffee region. I am so excited. My Swiss housemate, Elia, is going to come with me for the first 2 weeks or so and then I am sure I will hook up with other travellers too.
On a side note, I saw on the news last night that the preliminary results of the election were Noboa with 26%, Correa with 22%, Roldos next, then some other guy I don't know. The election is today so I will report back later with the results. Although, it is unlikely that anyone will win in this round.

Wow, Cartagena! I remember the walled city like it was yesterday! Except it was probably before you were born, ha ha! (not quite)
Have fun, just promise you'll stay away from any parts of the country with land-mines,etc
Love, Ronan & Charlene
Well, here we are- the armchair travellers- off on another virtual adventure in another new and exotic country! Keep us well posted on your experiences, Laurita! Watch out for those jumping coffee beans, not to mention those nasty, troublesome cocoa beans. Don't get any of them in your luggage!!
Stay safe! Have fun!
I am in Popayan now after a long day of travelling yesterday. The trip was gorgeous though. The weather today is the hottest I have felt in quite a while now and the city is lovely. Today on to Cali.
Don't worry mum, and I think you mean coca. Cocoa is chocolate I think.
Laura, I have to say I really love your story telling and your travels! I have actually had a few friends of mine following your travels (I talk about your blog like, well, whenever someone's telling me about their desire to adventure!) and they really enjoy knowing that they could do it too!
Take care of yourself!
