Its a bit of a trek getting from Perth, Australia to Colombia.
First a flight from Perth to Sydney with Qantas, then the long haul from Sydney to Buenos Aires in Argentina with Aerolineas. We had a couple of R & R days in BA (and we needed it!).
Then we boarded Avianca (Colombian) and flew another six hours into the Colombian capital, Bogota. In Bogota we met up with Peter Lambert and and guide Juilio (pronounced Huilio) boarded another Avianca flight to Cartagena (Pronounced Cartahena).
Colombians follow the same pattern as Germans - they applaud loudly as the plane touches down safely. I'm not sure what they do if its a rough one. There were no in-flight movies on Avianca but there was some in-flight entertainment with a Colombian couple lip-locked for most of the flight.
Its a long haul but as I drove along the Caribbean coast around the walled city of Cartagene I knew instantly that it was worthwhile.
