We are digital!

I managed to write a little bit on the mac before it died so here is what was supposed to be posted a long time ago!

Colombia! (Eventually…)

Well, we made it.
After what was a mammoth and fraught journey, (yeah it seems funny now but believe me it wasn’t at the time!)
Our journey started off smoothly from Heathrow to Frankfurt, connected with our flight from Frankfurt to Caracas ok too. No lost baggage or anything!
But then came Caracas… Hooray for Venezuela…not.

When we arrived in Venezuela to catch our last flight to Bogota, we thought how good and easy the journey had been… then the lady on the desk for our connecting flight said (in Spanish as well mind you) that our flight to Bogota didn’t actually exist!

Oh F**K we thought… so again in broken Spanish and with the help of a wonderful Colombian young lady we managed to understand that the now defunct airline’s sister company, were going to now fly us to Peru (another long plane journey) to stay in a hotel in Lima for the night, all paid for by the airline.

Ok… we thought… so then we had to try and contact our school here in Colombia to let them know we weren’t coming!
After a very tense couple of hours, we were on the plane to Lima…
