Catamaran Cruise

Last Sunday, Yami and I went on a catamaran cruise along the west coast of Barbados. We went on El Tigre, and had a really good day, with all food and drink included in the price.

Photo Albums Collection

I’ve made some photo albums from Latin America, grouped by country.
They can all be found on the Photography page, but here are the links for simplicity:

Mexico

Guatemala

Honduras

Nicaragua

Panama

Argentina

Bolivia

Peru

Colombia

Colombia

These photos were all used within the daily entries from my time in Colombia. You can find them in the links in the text from the daily entries, but I thought it might be useful to group them together in one place for anyone interested in a quick photo tour of the country.

Here’s a couple of photos of Yami testing her bag out…
