I was recently asked what was the toughest situation we had traveling during covid. There was one missed flight and a few almost missed flights, however getting lockdown in Colombia was definitely the biggest challenge.

We were out to breakfast on a Saturday morning in what we thought was just a very, very popular spot. The food took over two hours to receive and the place was body to body. When we finished our meal, the place cleared out into a ghost town, both the restaurants and the streets.

Not knowing anything that was happening, we headed for a walk on the beach only to be abruptly turned around, and told we immediately needed to return to our indoor accommodations until 5am the following day.

That weekend Colombia issued a mandatory lockdown from noon-5am on Sat and Sunday. And this isn’t a US kind of lockdown where you can go out and get groceries or walk around, this was OG Italy style where you can’t leave your home. I know this is also shocking, but Colombia also doesn’t offer peapod or Amazon fresh, so you are kind of stuck with what you have in your fridge.

Thank goodness we got groceries the night prior (especially lots of drinking water) but full lockdown was extremely rough, and we couldn’t find ANY information online about how long this was planning to last. (And I speak good enough Spanish to translate any local news)

We worked the system and the following day at 10am we headed to the local Hilton hotel, where we were confined to property but were allowed to use the pools and restaurants as we pleased. Best investment of $90 of our entire trip!

Monday morning life returned to normal in Cartagena, only to be boarded up again Tuesday afternoon due to government protests and riots.

We were never scared and understood that situations like these are the risk you take when traveling during covid. With that being said, our next location was Medellin and the rioting was worst there and more lockdowns were predicted on the horizon.

As much as we loved the time we had in Colombia, we cut our losses, burned our tickets to our next destinations and headed home for a quick regroup before heading to Europe.

Always love the lesser-known destinations...

Lake Argyle

We nearly gave this place a miss as I felt it's really expensive for a picture in the infinity pool. 😂 But I am glad we did it. It is really beautiful here and a really good start to our WA adventures.

The resort has a great system going. An attendant the moment you drive in so that you can put your name on the wait list and they will give u a message when it's your turn. U also get to explore the grounds while waiting.

A few factors contributed to the reason (like we need any 🤣) we decided to go on Q's first helicopter ride here. Oh boy am I glad we went. This lake is huge and we didn't even fly over the majority of it. I'm not exactly sure if everyone (Q) enjoyed their ride as much as I do. 🤷‍♀️

Ps: I might have scarred my child for the rest of her life with the helicopter ride. 🤣 BUT that is future Jas problem. 😅

.canasians - family of the week!

When we first started our lap, Q was going through a regression at swimming. She would cry and not want to be in class. So for safety reasons we decided to get her a life jacket.

Mataranka was the start of our water adventures. She was holding onto Derec the whole time refusing to let go.

By the time we get to Lake Bennett, she was jumping off the deck of our pontoon boat.

Then this happened at Berry Springs. 🤣

I love watching her grow on this trip. Watching her confidence grow and how she learns to manage her fears and push through.

Well, hello there! I'm back online :)⁠

It's been a quiet few weeks for me on the social media front. My son starts secondary school this week, and I figured this might be my last summer holiday with him while he's still in his boyish phase (Cue tweenager challenges).⁠

Well, what a summer!⁠

The weather hasn't been fantastic here in the UK, but we managed to visit for a camping trip, which resulted in the tent being blown down in the storm, plus our family favourite, a trip to .⁠
