Dream Trip Day 151-157: Passionate Armenia and Cali
Salento's super tall palm trees. They are so tall that they look so unreal! And the town itself is so colourful and tranquil with lovely views of the valley. .... (read more) “逐夢Day 151-157: 熱情Colombia之Armenia, Cali”
...Dream Trip Day 146-150: Medellin
First stop in South America: Medellin, the Drug Paradise
二十年前,這裡烏煙瘴氣,毒品交易昌盛、堪稱盜賊天堂、又名全世界最暴力的城市。1993年,最有勢力的毒梟Pablo Escobar在槍戰中被殺,政府趁機將整個毒品王國推翻。此後,市政府努力想一洗Medellin的汚名,於是不斷重建,將陰暗的黑市改為漂亮的露天廣場,又引入許多藝術文化教育相關元素,推動旅遊業發展。於是今天,Medellin是哥倫比亞發展得最快的城市之一,有盛大的花卉展覽巡遊,高質素的free .... (read more) “逐夢Day 146-150: 毒窟翻身Medellin”

...穿越中南美的方法:從巴拿馬到哥倫比亞
中美洲和南美洲雖然土地相連,但巴拿馬和哥倫比亞之間的森林地區(Darien Gap)卻令人無法陸路穿越。要從中美去南美,就只有走海空兩路,共通點:都是貴!為了省錢,我每天躲在Hostel努力上網查資料,最終決定參加四天三夜的快艇Island .... (read more) “穿越中南美的方法:從巴拿馬到哥倫比亞”
...Dream Trip Day 141-145: San Blas Beach Time
Took the 4D3N San Blas Island Tour on speed boat from Panama to Colombia. A few hours on the super bumpy speed boat per day, sleeping on hammocks on beautiful islands, waiting to be fed by two pretty guides. Watching the clear blue sea on the white sand beach. ....

...Dream Trip Day 132-140: HK? Panama?
The transit from Costa Rica to Panama was soooooo long. Started early by carrying a huge backpack down the rugged path downhill. The bus towards the border came 1 hour later than normal. Freaking me out as the next bus is at 3pm... The closed post office at the border doesn't have an outdoor mailbox so I gotta ask the vendor outside to help sending the postcards for me the next day. .... (read more) “逐夢 Day 132-140: 香港?巴拿馬?”
...Dream Trip Day 118-131: Wildlife in Costa Rica
Leaving the so-called CA4 area means end of passport problems. Hurray! The only problem is you have to show proof of leaving the country by any means. My travelmate have just bought her ticket back home in USA. So the rest is easy, you know how. If you don't, there's a bunch of bus companies selling tickets back to Nicaragua. Borrow one from the travellers heading north. Or buy one, show and get your chop, then sell it to travellers heading north. Or buy the cheapest one (around US$10) and throw it away. ....

...逐夢 Day 105-117: Nicaragua看火山、學滑浪
Leon以漂亮殖民建築聞名,也許是天氣不夠好,整體感覺一般,大教堂成了背景,努力想拍下飛翔的白鴿。另外,看見一幅諷刺西班牙入侵拉美,強傳宗教的壁畫,似乎反殖民比殖民風更有看頭。
至於首都Managua,和其他中美首都一樣治安麻麻,加上沒甚麼有趣景點,如果不是旅伴J有位多年沒見的舊朋友要見,大概會直接跳過。誰知道會遇上貴人呢? .... (read more) “逐夢 Day 105-117: Nicaragua看火山、學滑浪”
