Long drive
After using so many buses I decided to treat myself and hire a car. My original plan was to drive from Medellin to Bogota, but the oneway rental is so expensive that I did a round trip back to Medellin. My first stop was Manizales, a big city lying on the ridge of a hill. It took me more than 5 hours to get there following tons of trucks uphill and …
