Wow.....time is flying by!

I´ll start with an apology about the length of time its taken to update the blog.....its seems like a long time ago!! Anyway its been a fantastic couple of weeks! we finally left merida in venezuela and travelled to the border of Colombia! Border towns are always a little crazy...people trying to scam you etc and this was no different!! luckily we made the journey with some new friends (3 irish girls and an english guy!) and walked across the bridge to Colombia!! a great experience!! It was time to find a place to stay...Ville De Leyva had been recommended to us so we all decided to go!!! This is a beautiful colonial Colombian town off the beaten track towards the capital Bogota. I have to say it was absolutely beautiful...(although it rained more than England for the first couple of days :-) ...) After a good look around the town we decided to take a walk up a mountain....i would strongly advise thinking about this carefully if you find yourself planning the same activity...i have learnt a very valuable lesson in south america....mountains are always higher than they seem!!! ha ha!! anyway it was a stunning view of the town and the thunder and lightening added to the moment :-S anyway! I´ll stop babbling on....pictures say a thousand words....take care all!! promise to update this more often!! love pi and mj xx
