Merry X-mas

My Christmas this year have I celebrating in Taganga in Colombia. It’s a small fishing/tourist village just northeast of Santa Marta. There is nothing much to see in the village itself, more then the beach (and it’s not a very nice beach to be honest). Fortunately I’m here with the Belgian couple that I travelled to Santa Marta with, and a Canadian guy that we met at the hostel in Santa Marta, so there is always someone to keep me company.

Since it’s around 33 degrees in the days here (and 28 at night) haven’t I got any Christmas feelings at all. I’ve given myself a nice Christmas present though: I’m taking an open water diving course. It’s been really nice to dive again and when I’m finish with this course can I dive whenever I want without instructors. No more test dives for me!

There is some bad news though. I’m sick. The hostel where I’m staying organized a big Christmas dinner yesterday but I felt dizzy so I went to lay down for a while. As soon as I came in to my room felt I the food coming up. So after giving away all the food, the same way it came in, went I to bed and slept for 12 hours. I woke up with a fever. So now I’m sick, like everybody els, but I never got anything to drink, and no party,  like the rest of the people that celebrated Christmas on the beach.
