Grand ol' world tour

The Navimag cargo ferry, our home for five nights and the best fun you can have on a ship loaded with cargo trucks, cows and sea-sick passengers. Travelling on the first trip of the high season meant that the boat was only a third full. Which was exc...

A Short History of Toilets in South American

Villa de Leiva proved well worth the 4.5 hour bus ride to and from Bogota. This picturesque hilltop 16th-century village was declared a National Monument in 1954, so any furhter development on the 400 year old site must be carried out in the colonial ...
