An Englishman in Colombia

David Wood.

Upchurch resident  David Wood has recently had an online version of his book 'An Englishman in Colombia' published on the internet which can be accessed at:  colqat.weebly.com

It's about his experiences in that country over a ten year period from the late 1980s to the late 1990s and a description of the problems there between the drug cartels and the government and the everyday problems experienced. The book begins with David and another Upchurch resident Nigel Barling from Poot Lane going to Colombia for an adventure on the Caribbean and in the Amazon and then about David's experiences while working in Bogota and travelling around the country which includes six muggings, the murder of his business partner, an earthquake and a bomb explosion.

It was an action packed experience in one of the most violent and uncertain periods in Colombian history.
