Belfort Medellin

... we woke up and took care of some business online. We then headed into the city center for a leisurely walk around the city. We took the really nice and modern metro and then enjoyed the sights, stopping several times for snacks, coffee, and people watching.<br><br>That night we meet up with another couple that are driving down from Washington, Sharon and Jason. We have ...

... etc, etc. not the real Medellin, but a nice chance from staying in the sh*t parts of towns in hostels.<br>I got back to the hostel and wasted time eating and playing on the net before getting the last bus to Salento that night.<br>Medellin was a fun place. The most beautiful women ive ever seen, ample alcohol and drugs, football, and definately nice to stay in a richer area of town for once and do some silly things like visit the water park instead of museums and churches!<br>

... was een stuk logischer geweest, maarja...) om met Willem een aantal biertjes te gaan drinken. <br><br>------------------------------- --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- -----------------------<br><br>Tja, Colombia - Peru wat kan ik ervan zeggen? Beide landen verdienen het in ieder geval niet om naar het WK te gaan, en dat is nog zacht uitgedrukt. Ik denk dat je de wedstrijd enigzins kunt vergelijken met ...

... I spotted various other Roman antiquities at various places along the route. More kilometres behind me and I realised that I had been climbing and was now cycling along the top of a rare north-south ridge (all of them until now had run east-west across my path). No sooner had I realised than I came to the end of the ridge and was hurtling downhill at over 50 kmph! Great fun! (At least until the wind side-swiped me ... that wiped the smile off my face!) The down soon ...

Founded by the Romans in 25 BC for its strategic crossroads location, Mérida was our first stop in Extremadura. Now the capital of Extremadura, Mérida, called Augusta Emerita, was the capital of Roman Lusitania (their name for the Iberian Peninsula). Now, the entire town, except for its impressive ruins, looks more or less like a tribute to the Franco era, with 1970s style high rises and unattractive concrete buildings ...

... hasta Almendralejo, un gran tipo que nos libra de una tormenta que se acerca por el oeste. Después de presentarnos y charlar durante diez kilómetros, nos deja en un hotel-restaurante de carretera que se encuentra a en la parte norte y a veinte minutos andando de la ciudad. No podemos despedirnos de Hayeham sin antes grabarle en vídeo, sacarle alguna foto y pedirle, como a todas las personas que nos ayudan en el viaje, que defina el mundo con una ...

... compañero no le sienta muy bien la decisión de salir de la ciudad pero la acepta y después de sacar los billetes en ventanilla y comprar en un super pan y algo que meterle dentro, cogemos en la estación el bus de las 18'00h. con dirección a Mérida. Por qué Mérida? pues porque no disponemos de suficiente dinero para otro destino. Llegamos a Mérida a las 23'00 h. con un retraso de más de media hora. Obviamente ...

... could only see from 5 metres away, but at least they were trying to protect it. We tried to get into the church and look down through the floor, but a christening was taking place and access was denied as we were not dressed corerectly !!! Circus Realistically, I only saw my first complete Circus at Leptis Magna this year and a lot of that was covered in sand. This one however, the grounds are complete but the buildings are all gone. Over 400 ...

... just some curios in the recycle bin. I still haven&#8217;t been to Panama or Costa Rica yet, but that involves a long overland trip through Central America, by which time I&#8217;d likely blow off Guatemala. So I catch a flight to San Salvador, right close but cheaper. I&#8217;ll change plans in San Andres again, but that&#8217;s all.
