Hotel Platinum Suite Bogota

... hnen, v.a. in den Fällen von denen, die von klein auf nichts and**es kannten. Ein Mädchen meinte mal, sie dachte, das was sie durchgemacht hat wäre normal, alle würden so leben, weil sie einfach nichts and**es kannte.<br><br>Uns**e Haus ist ja nicht abgeschlossen und v.a. bei neuen Kids kommt es oft vor, dass sie rausgehn, sich irgendwelchen Typen, die g**ade vorbeigehn anbieten, sich für n bisschen Geld von denen begrabschen lassen und sich davon dann im harmlosesten Fall Süßigkeiten ...

... of the central park of the city, in a group of apartment buildings. It was a pretty nice house, and good to get out of hostels for awhile.<br>We headed to the Zona Rosa for tea. This is the rich area of Bogota with restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, etc. So far different from the area around the hotel. I had wanted to go out clubbing in this part of town, but it would have cost me an absolute fortune.<br>We headed for tea at a gourmet hamburger place, and then out for ...

We left our overnight hotel in Miami and caught the 5-30 hotel shuttle to the airport. The hotel was cheap and hence very but suited our needs, we got a good 5 hours sleep, had a good shower and recharged some of our electronic gadgets. We rechecked in our baggage, made it through the security zone and treated ourselves to a starbucks coffee and arrived at the departure gate with time to spare. The LAN Chile flight was comfortable took about 3 hours and we touched ...

... mass is held there every Sunday. I did hear Nixon say that the enormous cross I wrote of earlier is the largest cross in the world or something, but I doubt that and really need to details to know what he meant.<br><br>I do have photos of the Salt Cathedral, which I will try to post soon. After returning to Bogota, I went to the Donacion Botero or Botero Museum, which houses works the famous Colombian artist from Medellin donated towards the creation of a museum. Other famous ...

Seven and a half months without a job, and of all places I come to Bogota. I will probably never be able to afford to leave this place, but that´s not necessarily a bad thing. I had a panic stricken episode in Lima airport due to the hour delay on the hour long changeover but the emergency plan to bus from Peru to Colombia luckily never came to fruition as the second plane was also delayed. Ah, tiempo latino. My optimistic image of tropical ...

... discover that they had no rooms for us so we loaded up our ever expanding backpacks and off we trudged to Destino Nomads where they had a bed waiting for us (hopefully). We are staying in la candelaria in bogota. A large university in this area so the streets were buzzing with thousands of uni students. Lots of little bars and pizza shops. La Candelaria has a nice vibe about it but as bogota doesn't get many ...

... und habe alle Orte abgeklappert, die mir noch bekannt vorkamen. Es war als wär ich nie weggewesen - nur mit einem Unterschied: unsere Lieblings-Rockbar, das Papyrus, gibts nicht mehr. Wo soll ich denn jetzt meine tägliche Dosis Incubus live auf Grossleinwand herbekommen?! Ich hatte mich doch schon so auf ein paar gemütliche Abende dort gefreut. Aber viel Zeit blieb nicht bis Käptn Kati in Kolumbien landen würde, also musste schnellstens eine ...

... disappointing) Salt Cathedral at Zipaquira - it calls itself the first wonder of Colombia so we were ready to be impressed! Though it was vaguely impressive as it's built in a working salt mine, it was minimalist and we were hoping for some kind of basilica underground. Nevertheless we never lose an opportunity to take some geeky photos...this time of us climbing the salt walls. So we had a good time ...

... impressive view of the city. On the top is a church that was playing Christmas carols, it was lovely. As the weather is much more like it would be at home and hearing the songs in all the shops and churches here we are for the first time getting our heads round that Christmas is just a few days away. In terms of museums we visited the number one in Bogota, Museo del Oro - the Gold Museum. It holds over 30,000 gold pieces from down the ages and it was pretty dazzling ...

Soon I'll go to Bogotá, Colombia for my vacation. Bogotá is a very big city and a nice place to stay. Candelaria is the grand part of the town, which is also the 'college town' within the city. There are also a huge number of bars and restaurants, and several bookstores. Bogotá has elegant port towns cut by cobbled alleys and graced with bougainvillea-shrouded balconies. Soon I reach Colombia, I will visit the different night clubs and see those ...
