So I put a few messages on this forum before leaving Canada for Santa Marta.
I'm here just over 2 weeks now and loving it.
The first week was in a nice little boutique hotel casa Carolina which I loved. Close to everything in the historical centre. Not a great deal to see but I loved just walking around and the restaurants are great and the prices amazing.
I have now moved to Rodardero. I have a beautiful one bedroom a short walk from the beach and in the thick of things. I have a great view of the hills and the road that winds up the mountain and down the other side into Santa Marta. This road has an amazing walking path parallel to it all the way up and down. It has exercise stations at intervals and this has become my morning fitness ritual. I'm up around 6am on this path and it's got lots of people out doing the same as may and everyone is so friendly and greets you.
I'm still looking for any tennis players. I move into a place with courts on the 25th of March but I've been given access to them in advance.
Also, I do a little work for a small charity in Oakville Canada called "Make A Great Pass -Donate Your Used Soccer Gear". So, with the help of my landlady Sandra, I delivered some soccer outfits and balls to a soccer club in the poorer area of Santa Marta. I had stuff for one full team and the kids were so happy.
Anyway, anyone interested in Tennis or even just grabbing a pint feel free to respond.
