After Medellin, we spent the day on the bus going south towards Lago Calima to get in some windsurfing action. Pete was really keen for us to get some lessons and found a school run by an ex-champ known as fish. Calima's a man-made dammed lake in the countryside that has perfect winds that make it a wind & kite surfers paradise! It's the place to go on the weekends for Colombians but we found it seriously quiet mid-week...
We stayed in a sweet hostel in Darien just by the lake - a bustling but very chilled little town - and did a couple of days at Escuela de Windsurf. Day 1 our instructor didn't know his boom from his sail but day 2 we had an ace instructor who got us up and sailing. Pete was even let loose on the lake by himself, sadly the same cannot be said for me. Still, can't wait to test our new found skills with some sea and sun some time soon... hopefully I won't end up in Cuba!
