Hotel San Fernando Plaza Medellin

... 4-2. The game was pretty good for a while but Chile was just too much for them. One highlight was the Aguila girls. 4 hot girls in little dresses. Unfortunatly they were a little to far away for a great photo. :o((( Aguila is a beer. After the game, we hit the street and had some rat on a stick. J I am not really sure what kind of meat it was but it was tasty. The Subway was jammed when we made it there and fought our way on. A subway car full of ...

... tie. It was also interesting to see the different mentality of the fans of this team and some of the teams in Brazil. Here a couple of cheers were about how happy the fans were being green (color of the team) and happy to be Medellin. Brazil, they love their teams but they don&#8217;t seem happy. :o)))))<br><br> <br><br>Well, this is where I will leave you. I have a lot to tell sort of but I have to break it up.<br><br> <br><br>Look for Medellin part 2 coming soon.

... set to repairing. I pull the bike onto the pavement and find something to chock it up (the bike has no stand for whee removal). I get shouted at by a senora on the balcony above, she does not like my parking! Another guy comes over and offers help and disappears for a while. Eventually the senora, her husband (I think) and the other guy who has returned watch and help as I repair the puncture, they are much impressed with the gringo! We end up as fine amigos and exchange email addresses ...

Medellin einst Mörderhauptstadt der Welt dank Pablo Escobars Drogen Cartel, der zu besten Zeiten ca 80% des weltweiten Kokainmarktes beherrschte.

Ich war über Silvester in Medellin und ob ihrs glaubt oder nicht die meisten Bars und Clubs waren um 1 Uhr morgens zu....Silvester soll in ...

... and safe and weekends are supposed to be crazy. We got word from the Irish consulate in Bogota that our passports had arrived so we hightailed it outta there not waiting for the weekend or our Entourage, who were still trying to figure out where to spend Christmas. On the metro on the way out we got to see the Christmas lighting that Medellin is renowned for. Millions of multi coloured lights sprawled over the river and up a hill along the banks of the river -very impressive.

... los días, faltan 55 y nos queda por comprar algunas cosas necesarias para el viaje. La emoción y la ansiedad van en aumento, se acerca el día de dejar estas tierras y partir hacia la gran aventura, a conocer todos esos lugares que hastas ahora conocemos solo por los textos y las fotografías de otros viajeros que han pasado por allá y han sido generosos al compartir sus experiencias en la red.

... assumed that the bridge up front was broken and people were heading back. But for some reason, we weren´t turning around. By then we had just finished the end of the first Matthew McConaughey movie followed by another one of his other masterpieces, "Failure to Launch." Yeah, it´s in Spanish so I can practice listening. I finally figured it out, we were waiting to get on a ferry. Hence the stop and wait routine. We continued to wait ...

June 2, 2008 Medellin, Columbia Today we took a bus from Bogota to Medellin. Two tickets cost 102,000 pesos. We departed at 7:30 AM and arrived at 5:30 PM. We are headed to Cartagena but if we had traveled straight there from Bogota it would have taken us 20 hours or more. We didn't need another long bus ride so we decided to stop here over night. We got a room at the El Capitolio which is down town, behind the Metropolitan ...

... the number of paramilitaries have surged recently, under the mask of "demobilization". Many have just kept their arms, and get on with business as usual. Others have entered government. Debate on their entrance into formal politics centred around the governments willingness to forgive paramilitaries for their past crimes...they will forgive and forget the massacres, drug trafficking and other crimes. Also, by exclusively focussing on eradicating the FARC, Plan ...
