freddy comments on Please! One last check if anyone knows if there is luggage storage in the Barranquilla airport?

Thanks for the help. I think I´m just going to take a later transport to Barranquilla and sit it out in the airport.

freddy comments on Please! One last check if anyone knows if there is luggage storage in the Barranquilla airport?

I´ve got about 6-7 hours on my hands but I don´t like checking my luggage really early. The one mall I´m thinking of in the north has restaurants up top. Somewhere to while some time away...

freddy comments on Roundtrip tickets to Colombia

I never had any problems. DAS will ask how long you are staying.

freddy comments on Is there a Spirit Airlines office in Cartagena? Perhaps at the airport? Please, help!

A buddy of mine called them in the states and they said only round trips are now offered and that there is nothing avilable. That`s the part I just don`t get!? Online it`s still the same. Really don`t want to fly avianca!!!..................

freddy comments on Seeking info on areas to the east of Tayrona

Robi, Many thanks this really helps understand the layout of things! We really appreciate it. Do you know if at Casagrande they rent tents? And how much are the bungalows? Sooooo, senoir Robi, the only thing left is if you would just sell me that 6´7 board you own!!!!!!! Just kidding I know how it goes. We´ll maybe half kidding and half serious.... Thanks again to all.

freddy comments on Tayrona still over run with Israelis?

Thanks Robi, How much are the bungalows in Casagrande? We are on a low budget. More like looking to rent a tent kind of budget... Is Cinto cheap? How much is a plate of food in one of these places. Thanks so much for you help. freddy

freddy comments on Tayrona still over run with Israelis?

"Perhaps I am alone; but did anybody else who read this thread cringe from the open stereotyping and out and out rascism? When somebody that can articulate excellent English puts down and hates a certain group of people .... he is no better than the typical Klansman in Indiana in 1922." -Robert Jorge "Don't confuse anti-Semitism with anti-Israeli army brats. The first is racism. The second is having no patience with a bunch of fresh-out-of-the-army punks who travel in packs and act like immature obnoxious twits." -Cheers Terry Thanks for clearing that up Terry... OK, so where else might one go? Looking to camp with the girlfriend so we´ll want to rent a tent. Maybe we´d head to Casagrande? What other spots are there along the coast after the park? Many thanks.

freddy comments on Looking to buy surfboard in Colombia arriving 23rd in Bogota heading to Tayrona

Hi there, Thanks for the reponses. I think I know where you mean in Cartagena. Down where they store the windsurfers. Now I´ve never been to Casagrande but I believe that is about 5k past Tayrona. Also supposed to have a better wave than tayrona. Robi by any chance would you have a board to rent? Tavarua, I think that´s the shop owned by Sergio Navaro, Colombian surf champ. I used to have his email but can´t seem to find it. Also if you guys know some of the surfers in the area perhaps they might have something for sale. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Hi there, Thanks for the tip on the Lima Medellin. I can´t seem to find the 200rt. I was hoping you could tell me where you saw it. Cheers, Freddy email me direct if you want freddyfish13 at yahoo.com

freddy comments on Lima to Santa Marta

So I see the Lima Medellin option on lan .com but it only gives me 800rt or 400 1way? I am seeing 400rt to bogota which isn´t bad but 200rt to meddelin is the best. i would do the iquitos letica but ive been to both places and I dont really want to spend days on a boat... thanks to all the advice now if I can jsut find the 200rt fare. cheers

freddy comments on Lima to Santa Marta

freddy comments on PURCHASING ART in Bogota (little help)

Last year I made a number of paintings during my time in Colombia. I made paintings of Choco, the botanical garden in Medellin and the area surrounding Medellin. You can see these paintings here- http://fredpoisson.fotki.com/paintings/colombia-oil-paintings/ If you are interested please email me at- freddyfish13 at yahoo.com ENJOY!!

freddy comments on 6 more in Choco taken hostage Sunday night

I love Choco. For me it´s my favorite part of Colombia. Word from the zona is that they went against warnings from the authorities that unidentified persons had been spotted there. I´m planning on heading back this June and July. Hope to see some of you there. Peace to all. Paintings from my time spent there a year ago- http://fredpoisson.fotki.com/paintings/colombia-oil-paintings/

freddy comments on Seviche!

Ah, glorious ceviche!!! Polynesian receta I gotta say I love all the threads on this subject.
Here is my favorite receta.

polynesian style- in Tahiti known as Poisson Cru.

Fresh tuna cut into small chuncks not quite one by one
inch.
cucumber-sliced down the middle and spoon out the seeds. Then cut thin slices that are like a quarter cut in half.
onion or scallion-even better
some use shredded carrot-not my favorite
cilantro
salt and a bit of pepper if you like
lime juice

Now for the kicker. Coconut milk(not cream)
The way it´s done down there they sometimes let it sit
for half an hour no more. If the fish is fresh it
doesn´t need to be cooked all the way through. This
is especially true for the tuna. As you taste it to
judge the amount of lime, salt ect. to add keep in
mind that the coconut milk needs to sit at least 10
minutes for the flavor to enter.

Also, I always start with the fish and then know how
much else of the other stuff to add. Putting the lime
juice and salt last followed by the coconut milk.

BTW, I may be in Medellin after the 15 of Dec. and
would love to come to a ceviche taster!!!!

happines is a perfect wave...
