Having a fan in my room lastnight helped a lot in making sure I got some sleep. Today as it is a public holiday we were off to the beach to play beach volleyball with a group of other Couchsurfers. The good thing - it wasn't too early the meeting, so we had a very relaxing morning waiting for Khris's friend to arrive. We arrived at the beach at around midday and spent an hour trying to locate the CS group, we finally found them and drove the car down onto the beach and parked up near their hut. Two of the girls Micah & Katie are from the States and are both teaching English here in Barranquilla. They were both very well traveled and gave me some great travel advise and to talk to English speakers was a rate treat - I kind of get excited and talk and talk when I have the chance being in a very limited English speaking country. After some lunch we set the volleyball net up and had a game of volleyball, we only had 3 a side and the game was quite fun. The problem was the heat which absolutely zaps your energy levels, after one game we were all tired and decided to go for a swim. The water was beautiful, a little dirty to look at and quite a strong undercurrent, there was even a few very small waves. The beach was packed as it was a public holiday, but nice to see families out together enjoying each others company. By about 4pm we headed back and even though I had done barely anything all day I was knackered and fell asleep in the car. Khris and I did some yoga in the evening and I cooked up a huge feed of vegetable & mince stir-fry.
