Crowne Plaza Tequendama Bogota

Ich schaue mir gerade das Fußballspiel zwischen Kolumbien und Uruguay an! Ziemlich spannend! Nachdem Uruguay schon in der 6. Minute ein Tor geschossen hat, dachte ich schon Kolumbien verliert – zumal die Kolumbianer von ihrer Mannschaft nicht sehr überzeugt sind und irgendwie eher davon ausgehen, dass sie verlieren. Allerdings steht's jetzt 1 zu 1! *yeah* Mal sehn wies ausgeht! Wäre schon toll wenn sie sich qualifizieren können. Ein bisschen nervig ist, dass ...

... into it. However, when I walked in the door, the receptionist spoke Zero English and I had to fumble my way through a spanglish conversation with her, to discover my bed would be ready in a couple of hours. The place was nice, colonial style with open courtyard, in house restaurant (food really good) and good common areas.<br><br>After some sleep, I headed out into the streets of Bogota. The central area of the city is quite ...

... de oficialmente na Colombia, troquei uns dolares em Pesos, e peguei o táxi pro Hostel....<br><br>A cidade de Bogotá é bem bonita, e quando se chega ao distrito da candelária, tem-se uma vista sinistra da cidade... do alto...<br><br>Cheguei ao albergue e a menina que me atendeu nao queria aceitar minha carteira de identidade... mas tudo se resolveu ...

... guayaba. On top the vendor poured some honey, sprinkled salt, and then squeezed limon over the top. Also delicious. Later in the afternoon I tried obleas. Obleas are waffle cookies. You can choose from a variety of toppings which are then sandwiched between two cookies. I chose dulce de leche spread and a cheese that cuts the sweetness of the dulce de leche. The vendor then poured crema de leche (milk cream) over the top and finished the sandwich. Also amazing to the last ...

Although my time in New Zealand was incredible, when it got around to my last day I was ready to leave. I had squeezed it for all it was worth and I was ready for something different. And different is exactly what I got... The journey from Aukland to Bogota was long, seemingly interminable. First was the flight from Aukland to Santiago. I sat next to a hippy chick from Australia. Although we differed vastly on some subjects (do I think a chicken has the same value as a human in the ...

We went to the park in San Gil on the river, it was so amazing and was just how you would imagine an enchanted forest to look like.. We sat on some rocks by the river and chilled again.. saw some white water rafters and also some people jumping into the rapids..

... lights, more so than other other city I have seen. The shops have everything you expect to see at home and surprisingly, not as busy, even though it is christmas. I decided to splash out on a new pair of trainers for myself, my existing pumas had served their time. Thursday (Christmas Day!) The build up to Christmas itself (their most important day being Christmas Eve) is very much a family affair. Many ...

I have gone to Bogota, Colombia before on a vacation. I have heard from many people that Bogota, Colombia is not safe for tourists.. There are many negative comments about Colombia mostly initiated by the news papers. They love to sensationalize to sell their papers. Most of these people have never visited this great city. I have and I can tell you it is not anything like what you hear on the news or what you see in the ...

... Churches and cathedrals normally put us to sleep, and we've done our best to pass little time in them. However. The entire thing is underground, with walls, altars and as we confirmed by sharing the spit of millions of colombians (including Caro's from previous visits) and licking the walls - everything is made of salt. Our first official trip to the centre, was to see the infamous museo del oro, a collection of the gold from various places around ...
