How many hours of salsa is it humanly possible to listen to? We don't know, but the colombians are working hard on trying to figure it out!In order to reach the caribbean coast from Villa de Leyva we had to travel on 3 different buses.bus no.1: 1 hour of collectivo, a teeny 12 seater in which I now know you can fit 25 people and two backpacks!

Our first evening in Sydney we went for a drink at the Opera Bar, possibly one of the coolest location for an open air bar, just on the waterfront next to theOpera House.
