Top 5 – Colombia
Yes it’s top five time, not top ten this time, yes that is an indictment on Colombia but lets just gloss over that shall we. Colombia did come home with the goods towards the back end of our trip so we’ll focus on that. Disclaimer time: we are very aware that we’re short term tourists, […]
While you were working – Up we go!

We breeze through immigration with German efficiency and leave the impeccably clean and polished airport a […]
