51,1-.-.-f - BUANAVENTURA COLOMBIA Buanaventura is the largest seaport on the western coast of Colombia. We shared fine docking facilities with several ships from throughout the world. The city has little of historic value but 'small shops, the city square, and a few of the night spots drew considerable attention. Some of the purchases that were predominate were fresh Colombian coffee beans and shell works that were sold on the piers. V i ' The ship sponsored an overnight tour to the neigh- boring city of Calle. Those fortunates who were able to survive the bus ride through the heavy jungle and winding road were surprised to find one of the most modern and friendly cities we had the pleasure of visiting. Wonderful accommodations and inexpensive prices added to the warmth and sunshine, for a most enjoyable tour.
