Viva America del Sur!

  • Aruba. One Happy Island. We chilled out 5 days long.


  • Tried to go sightseeing in San Nicholas. No sights there. *g* (This beautiful strip is in Oranjestad)

  • Slept one night at Radisson Hotel at the pool. Amazing. The pool guard even brought us towels, so the mosquitos wouldn't bite us. :) (Unfortunately he only did so the next morning. Was too late anyways.)

  • Won a beer-bobbing and a hot-dog-eating contest (that was Julez). Good times, good times.

  • Booked the latest last-minute flight I ever did! 3hrs before departure we paid the travel agent, went to the airport - and were still the first ones in line to check-in. Aruban people are "kind of" relaxed. *g* (Honestly, if I'd live in a paradise like this, I'd chill out all day long...)

What I learned:

  • How to summersault backwards.
  • Never wear a wedding-ring to play beachvolleyball.
  • Four moons should be enough to cater for a new planet.
  • Renting a bike on Aruba is more expensive (25$/person) than a car (45$/4 persons).
New location: Medellin, 3rd most-populated city in Colombia (after Bogota & Cali). Arrived here yesterday, found some cheap hotel and did sightseeing today. Not much to see, not too beautiful - heading on soon is obligatory. :)
