As is usually the case, you just settle into the joyful and peaceful ambience and it is time to go. But wow, did we enjoy our short time here. Food was good, weather was superb and the scenery was spectacular.

On the in-between day, we did venture up to the coffee farm at Minca and did some shopping there too. Our local guide also found us a refreshing place by the creek for lunch on a warm day. We got to see some of the jungle on this day also and appreciated the diversity of Colombia, including its extensive mountain ranges.

Final day around the resort and we explored the local river and surf beach. We did not venture in for a swim as no patrol as the water was quite rough. See below for various images in this area. Wild-life included caymans, iguanas, humming birds and vultures. No too many problems with mosquitos although we did use some bug spray in the evenings. Cocktails were also enjoyed each evening.

And then it was time to leave. Early morning start to get to Santa Marta airport. Short flight back to Bogota without incident. Now very comfortably ensconced in our hotel near the airport in readiness for an earlier arising to start the long journey home, via Houston, Los Angeles, Brisbane, the shuttle home.
