Colombia in pictures

Matt says...

Well, we've had an action packed time in Colombia which has been at different times, both surreal and stunningly beautiful. Here follows a selection of the best photographs so far. Tomorrow (Wednesday 2nd) we return to Playa Blanca to spend the last few days of our trip on the beach. The blog will be fully updated with all our Colombian adventures after we arrive back in England on August 10th.

I think it's fair to say that this trip has done both Lynne and I the world of good - we have helped each other through the difficult times that have occasionally emerged and both feel at peace now with our current situation. The next part of the adventure will undoubtedly begin when we arrive home. After all, life is not a dress rehearsal.
