This morning I had a little sleep-in as we had been out late lastnight! I did my yoga had some lunch and waited for Paola to finish class. I also took the time to work out an itinerary for Colombia, major towns, beaches and places to visit. In the afternoon I went for a wonder around the town and checked out the Fruiteria and got a heap of fruit and vegetables for less then $2, I also visited a small supermarket and picked up some Salchacha - a stick of meat simi...

Today I was unfortunately woken up early again by Vivi's Aunty at 4am - not that I am complaining they have been ever so kind hosting me. So I got up did my exercises and ate breakfast with Vivi's parents who were also up super early. At 8:30am Vivi and I headed to the bus stop said our goodbyes and I boarded the first bus to Tunja. The ride was quite hectic, fast cornering and erratic breaking - amazingly we made the 3 hour journey in 2. From the bus station in ...

In the morning I wondered around checking out various supermarkets, brought some vegetables for dinner a...

After more waiting an transmilenio employee came up to me and asked if I was ok - on my iPhone I...

Today I was feeling a bit on edge not really knowing what I am going to do here in Colombia. Erika's Mother had asked when I was leaving as they needed the room I was staying in back - so just like that the two week visit at Erika's has been cut short - it sucks in one way but in another it's good, Erika has been busy and when she is not studying she just wants to sleep. She has never really travelled and so is not much of a tour guide but she is nice enough but ...
