II.III.V RECONNECTED read on the doe The long-awaited third day was finally upon us. The day we’d get to see the Lost City. I couldn’t believe we were almost there.

II.III.IIII – Tairona

On my second day there I’d be trading in my trainers for Blister – my long-time travelling companion slash best friend […]
