Mit dem Flug lief alles glatt, nur fiel mir kurz vor der Einreise nach Kolumbien ein, dass ich gar keine pflanzlichen Produkte ins Land einfuehren darf, daran hatte ich beim Packen nicht gedacht, meine Haferflocken und meinen Tee wollte ich aber ungern wegwerfen, also hab ich einfach gehofft sie merken es nicht und ...
