Gin & I enjoyed a last sunset in Cartagena as well as the "Miss Colombia" final, before we left the next day.
Off to Santa Marta. Not much to see there. Gin became sick for a day, which Julez and I spent in Taganga to compare prices in ... diving schools! Oh yeah! So, after another night of hanging out on our roof-top-terrace (btw.: That instrument, that Julez is playing there, is called "Halo". And it sounds amazing!)...
...we took a minivan (so-called "bus") for like 40 € cents over to neighbouring Taganga and moved into Calipso Diving School, to start our Open-Water-Divers-Certificate. 4 days, one theoretical test (yaa, okay, we were allowed to copy from each other... *g*)
...8 dives (2 in the pool)...
...and many, many amazing fish and corals later we did it! Call me Open Water Diver, baby! Oh yeah! :)
So, of course, we had to celebrate a little. And did so with a fun round of "spin-the-bottle". *lol*
As there's otherwise not much more to do in Taganga, we spent exactly one more day exploring the Valencia waterfalls...
...fooling around... ^^
...before we headed out into the jungle: Tayrona National Park was calling! Bye, bye Omar (our terrific diving instructor)...
...and bye, bye beautiful Taganga!
