Our journey to Colombia could be described in lehmans terms as a complete f***ing nightmare. Our flight was cancelled due toi heavy fog and new flights were arranged for us. Only this meant 7 hours in the airport after a sleepless night in the bus from Rio to Sau Paulo. As if this wasn´t bad enough, the flight was disrupted by unruly children kicking our seats and screaming bloody murder. Anyways got to Bogota at 9pm absolutely shattered. Got our taxi driver to ask for a room in a hostel at midnight, he hooked us up.
Next day we met up with Haz´s mate pint for a sightseeing tour around the city, a couple of art galleries and a cup of coffee that knocked my socks off. Chilled in the evening. The next day we went to a Salt Cathedral built underground, pretty sweet. The town called Zipaquira was lovely. We hit Bogota town in the evening for some bars and street drinking, some chat with silly fit colombian girls and watching a massive brawl involving police and military, crazy s***.
Next day we took a bus to Villavincencia, a small town with hot weather and inhabitants who, it seems, have never seen 3 british guys before, the stares were constant, every now and then some old dude would shout `Bienvenidios Colombia`or welcome to colombia, we stuck out like a green hat with an orange bill (sore thumb). Chilled here for a couple of days and then hitchhiked with some Bogata people back to the city. We stopped off on the way for some traditional colombian pastries called arape, really nice, I like.
Monday was chill day and went out in the evening, good times. Tuesday we went up a sillily steep cable car to the city look out point called Moseratte, amazing views, like sugarloaf in Rio. Then the Gold Museum, but was disappointed that there was no reference to Goldmember in there, after all he loves gold. Anyhoo, drank til 2am then up at 5am for our flight to Lima. Tired but good times in Colombia, Coffee, women and other stuff too are silly good here you gotta check it out.
