18 Apr

As mentioned yesterday, I elected to hang around Santa Marta today. I slept in a little, caught up on the hundreds of accumulated emails, wrote up the blog for the day, walked around and had a swim in the sea.

There could be worse places to kill time and its a damn site better than wadi halfa!!…

Tomorrow I take a short ride to a town further down the coast called Barranquilla where I will spend Friday night. I am avoiding getting to the "Colombian jewel in the crown”..Cartagena, because I will be there for 5 nights as it is waiting for the boat so would prefer to see what else is along the coastline before getting there.

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
