Hotel America - Bogota

... we go to our room and meet some other travelers. We find out that the 1st of 5 attempted/successful robberies had just occurred. About 2 hours later the 2nd (this one, a guy pulled a knife on this guy) attempt occurred. Not bad for the first night. L<br><br>The net day I woke up at 6:00am for some damn reason. Could have been the cold, or the altitude. I have no idea. (Just to tell you, Bogotá is in the mountains so it is COLD!!) One of the problems at the hostel ...

... Projekt. Das hab ich noch nicht gesehen, ich gehe erst am 25. hin, zusammen mit einem vom ICYE um mir alles anzugucken und mich vorzustellen. Arbeiten werde ich erst ab de, 14. September. Ich war so überrascht, dass es 3 Leute gab die mein Projekt als 1. wollten! Anna z.B. hat meine 1. Wahl bekommen und ich ihre- warum weiss kein Mensch! Und wechseln geht auch nicht, weil sie nur ein halbes Jahr da ist. Und ehrlich gesagt will ich auch gar kein anderes Projekt mehr, es hört ...

... and flower market on calle 19, the Mercado de las Flores, Paloquemao.This was mainly a very large fruit market but they also had areas selling fresh fish, so fresh it was still wriggling, fresh meat, cheese and flowers. It was a large enough to get lost, as we did for a while. Once we finished there we headed back to our apartment and took the quickest route along calle 19. This perhaps wasn&#8217;t the best choice of routes, there were few people around, most of the ...

In Bogotà angekommen haben wir uns erstmal bei Liliana, einer Arbeitskollegin von Kati einquartiert. Am nächsten Abend gings dann zum langerwarteten KISS Konzert. Fast wurden wir kurz vor dem Konzert noch von der Polizei in einen Camioneta (Lastwagen) gesteckt, weil wir unerlaubterweise mit einigen anderen Konzertbesuchern ein paar Dosen Bier auf der Strasse getrunken haben. Also kam die berittene ...

... por Antena 3, donde era la hermana de los Reyes. Su fama creció de tal forma que hasta fue portada de la reconocida revista española INTERVIÚ donde se atrevió a posar de ...

THE SALT CATHEDRAL - Is located in Zipaquita a two and half hours from Bogota, they have English speaking guides, the visit takes around hour and half or two, the mine is very impressive, the guide recommend not to use flash with the camera, so be ready with the settings of your camera, so you will have very nice results, in fact flash ruins the effect of ...

... one exception is the huge 18th Century sandstone Cathedral. As advertised it was certainly very picturesque, as well as walking round the streets we also went to a viewpoint at the edge of the town which gave great views looking over the valley towards the mountains in the distance. After the walk we then had to return to San Gil to continue on towards the town of San Juan Giron, another town with an ...

Realise this is a little out of sequence, cos we are soo lazy, yet thought you might like to know how we spent the festive times. Colombia is much like the rest of the world and the main Christmas celebrations are done on the night of the 24th. Yet the theory of leaving all your christmas shopping to the last minute seems more universal, as we found ourselves stuck in queues and more queues on the 24th, searching for what we ...

... Lili's friends. We had another amazing time, and these are the pictures I was waiting for to write an entry, but they are on Jose's camera which he forgot in his mom's car - so I'll have to wait. Once I get them, I'll post a more detailed account of my second trip to Tayrona. On the way out, we got soaked, which was not a big surprise in the "Rainforest", however, I think the ride back in wet clothes, and the lack of sleep, were to blame for the cold I got early during the week of my ...
