Hostal Sabor I Arte Cali

... Next order of business - swimming. We were all dropped off at the Rio Cali, the local watering hole for some, semi-clean-water fun. Evan got some help from a few locals and climbed up to the top of a boulder to jump off - he was obviously feeling better.<br><br>That night was a hostel hang out with rum and cokes all around and spanglish "Pantomime" which is charades, but with only one word. Two of the most memorable were Fluffer and Facebook - no ...

... to smooth things out, as she always seems to manage to do, by saying "you, know they are Gringos" and the waitress, almost in tears, said "I know I know" and went to scurrying around to make ...

Coming Soon....ish. Quick note. Zoos aren't really our thing. We both find then sad places. This zoo, however, was mostly very good. The animals had a reasonable amount of space. We didn't photo the Cats or the Bears. Their enclosures were very small.

... luggage up off the back wheel, collapsed while he was riding. The hostel is also located among the most, and best, bike shops we had seen, and I took the opportunity to get some new brake pads, while Jesse got a new rear tire. Besides this, Cali didn't seem to have that much to offer. It has a reputation for beautiful women, which wasn't obvious. What was obvious were a lot of fake boobs, and in our neighborhood - which was upscale - a large number ...

... should head for food. When we were leaving the guy tried to get us to stay but we left anyway. He told us to come back at 8pm as there was a local match on. After a walk up the strip and a chicken dinner we heard some shouting coming from our previous bar. We looked over and it was going off so we headed back!! We sat down at an cheered on the red and blue teams with the locals. I chose blue ...

... into my bedroom window (no curtains) because I would sleep with the window open, (too hot otherwise) and had to remember to close the window while still laying on my bed and not standing up in front of the window. The real bad thing was it was a symbol that represented America when the drug cartels got crazy and there was machine gun fire in the street one night. Plus a police station was right behind the radio ...

... to see it all. Yet, I could not convince even the locals to take me there. The fear of being captured by the Guerilla would not let them think twice about a trip up there. It is sad, to be next to such a beautiful place and not be able to visit. Well then for those planning on visiting here are some of the things I noticed: Airline: I flew through Copa Airlines. Price was about $500 US dollars including all taxes and ...

The reason people come to Cali, from what i can gather, is to party and stare at the beautiful women. Well at least that's the reason i came, and it's probably the reason i'll go back, cause there was always a party and the women care that much about their appearance i'd have an honest crack that 1 in 2 of them have a big set of fakies... but who am i to judge? The only bad thing about this party town is that it gets a little pricy. I had to pay about $8 a night for ...

... cartels. (Colombia supplies 80-90%) of the world's cocaine). Kidnapping, robberies and sheer brutal murders have all contributed to Colombia making the headlines for the wrong reasons. It is now a lot safer but as were sitting on our Avianca (Colombian airline) flight from Bogota to Cali, we were acutely aware that this very flight was bombed in 1989 killing all 107 on board. Cali is Colombia's 3rd largest city and has hot sultry ...

... to have originated from the Musica society. Other ancient societies in Colombia include: Calima, Narino, Quimbaya, Sinu, Tayrona, Tolima and Tumaco. All these societies wore gold, gave offerings of gold to their deities and buried gold with their dead. We took a bus from Bogota to San Agustin in the daytime to enjoy the mountain scenery along the way. In San Agustin we took two days see some of the hundreads of stone statues and ...
