Dutch/Colombian passport

I am wondering how many hits this title will get (actually having a blog you can follow how many people are reading it and where they come from; apparently we have even some Australian readers). I was just thinking "time to update the blog and put some new exciting information there" but last week was a rather normal week except of all those events that happened that, later on, make you realize that such a sabbatical of three months in Colombia is really quite an adventure. We need holidays! and that is what we will get; leaving on Monday for a nice week to the Carribean cost after we will first spend some other weekend in La Vega where we can sleep, read books, swim and sit in the jacuzzi the whole weekend. But enough about this; the news is that Marcela got her Dutch Nationality!! We just heard the news via an email from Marieke! We expected it to take some year but now after some 2 months it is already approved and so in some months we have to go to the City hall to go for the ceremony to receive Marcela's Dutch papers (including a passport which makes it much easier with the travelling around the world). I could put here a reference to our famous Dutch politician who would immediately post a twitter message about this way too easy acceptance of the Dutch nationality, which would probably increase the number of hits enormously but don't want to rely on that. But getting back to the main issue; this now just happens at the point that I was going to the Colombian office to apply for getting my Colombian passport! What to do? Where to go?

And just a picture to spice up the blog (by the way, showing about Colombian integration);

Integrating into Colombian society: Piel Roja (like the shirt although it is for a Colombian cigarette brand) and a mochilla, the bag from the indigenous Arhuaco's. Nice bag with the Dutch colors (that is why Marcela bought it for me) but unfortunately my laptop doesn't fit!
