overlooking the walled city of Cartagena from the huge fort below

another fort guarding the harbor. lots of pirates to defend this incredible country from

views inside the citys walls

i think were getting a little tired of paradises. Were just finding too many of them. playa blanca a boat ride away from cartagena. you could lay in your hammock all day long and have all your needs taken care of...fresh caught shrimp, oysters, massages, coco locos (rum poured in a fresh macheted coconut)... everything a body needs

coco locos in paradise

calisto the coconut king... had to bribe a security guard with a fresh cut coco so he would let us steal some cocos from a farm!

some colombian school girls for those aussies

Some sort of colombian modern art... yup, youre seeing it correctly

the beginning of a six day hike deep onto the colombian jungle. Hello guys with big guns.. were going to just sneek on by and hike up to a lost city that the spanish never found thats over a thousand years old and stop at a coke factory, drink coca tea, and swim in the rivers... don´t mind our mules they carry coffee, food and a shopping bag of herb thats included in the tour... only in colombia

nice little swimming hole along the way

the ruins and the 1177 stairs leading up to them. the lost city... cuidad perdida, sits on a steep ridge with a 360 degree view including a waterfall, trees with birds chirping, mountains and long valleys filled with guerrillas and cocaine... the kinds with big guns. thought we´d tell those worrisome moms after the fact

a little pinapple

the local indigenous tribe with a coca plant in the foreground. It takes 1000 kilos of dried leaves to make one kilo of coke... good thing for the frat boys.. the whole jungle is chalk full of them

that little brown spot is a soccer field in the middle of the jungle on a ridge

markus posed for an after hike GB spons

coastal paradise number two in two weeks in colombia. thats not a bad average

fuck off pirates

sunday!

SUPERBOWL! panama city at a sportsbar with a homemade funnel, big yardies of beer and much mayham. stole the pats helmet for our table to make us feel more at home... missed watching the game with all you boys... hope there was 30 pounds of fried chicken and pigs in blankets again and some kegs of course... wish i could have been there. cheers fellas

some panamanian dude... they were terrible with the beer bong but laughed when they spilled all over themselves

little blurry at this point but you get the idea

tremendous tremendo... we thank you for your continuous efforts to keep us from being stranded in deserts, in the middle of jungles and in rising tides. all those who rode inside on your immacculate, plush fabric seats, slept of your sturdy roof and turned that radio up louder then you may have liked or even thought you could handle... thank you... sorry about all those shitty central american roads and especially the topes! happy trails tremendo

a few left over christmas images for mom... thanks for the hats
