Back to Bogota

Just before the quest into the Amazon we had an opportunity to meet back up with our Galapagos friends Edward and Tara. They had offered us a room to stay in their lovely flat and an opportunity for some overdue home comforts. They were extremely generous . They cooked us a steak and ale pie with Jaime Oliver lime chips on our first night. It felt like we were dreaming. As we sipped wine and reminisced about the Archipelago we thought that maybe going home would not be so bad after all.

Tara is a wild life photographer and was always wielding her massive lens during our time on the islands. The fruits of her labour had been blow up big and where displayed on canvas mounted on huge Easels around the flat. They truly were stunning and it was great to be transported back to that magical place.

Other weekend activities included cruising round another artisan market, eating lunch out in restaurants, eating dark chocolate, catching up on washing, sleeping in an incredibly comfy bed, taking hot showers and watching a 40 minute HD video of our time in Galapagos. The actual sound track had been largely dubbed and replaced by orchestral music except a guest vocal from yours truly when I proclaim “look how many see lions there are!”.

They are hoping to start a family and Tara is entering the photos in Wildlife photographer of the year and we wish them luck in both. Thanks again guys.
