Palomino

From Santa Marta we took a 3 hour or so bus ride to Palomino. It’s on the beach. Well, it’s a beach resort. In a hot country. Hot, sandy, beach (with a strong current). What on earth were we thinking ;) Well, we were thinking it’d be a fine place to relax before getting back into the hurly-burly rough and tumble world of the US and Europe (our next destinations after Colombia).

Anyway, off to Palomino. I was confused by the toilet, just what exactly is it trying to say?

More fantastic thunderstorms, it lashed rain most days for at least an hour, and we had one spectacular lightning storm far out over the sea. It was really impressive. Probably the loudest and closest thunder I’ve heard too.. very much like those really big fireworks which you feel in your chest.

We had cocktails and nice food, lazed around and read books, played table tennis, and generally had a very relaxed time.
