Contentedly Courting Colombia

As it turns out we loved Colombia. The colonial towns were great, with lots of stunning scenery but the people are definitely what made it. They are all so friendly, animated and joyful people only too willing to spare a couple of minutes for a chat.

We are heading back to Quito in a couple of days as I need to be there for a week but being back in Ecuador is no hardship. Throughout our travels I have said that Laos was my favourite country but that has now been superceded by both Colombia and Ecuador. I think, pushed on the point, I would say that Ecuador is my favourite country, it really does seem to have everything. The Galapagos Islands, great Volcanic and Mountainous areas, rain forest and a great coastline being just a few highlights from this small but stunning country. It even boasts the highest point on earth; eat that Mount Everest!!!

Hey Alex,
My wife Nancy and I met you on a water taxi on Lake Atitlan on Guatemala. Your Lao shots , especially of locals, are fantastic. We're going to check out the rest of your blog later. Cheers!
