Hotel San Francisco de Asis Bogota

Bogota: bad first impressions. Arriving in the rain (after beautiful beach weather on the coast) on a fiesta and a Sunday night. Nothing open, lots of dodgy folk around. However, first impressions were improved upon: <br><br>- The Candelaria, the historic centre of Bogota is an attractive maze of well preserved buildings, beautiful churches, and spacious public spaces. <br>- The Botero Museum is a little gem of modern art: both a spectacular collection of Botero (paints fat people very ...

... A moment or two later an official of the bus company got on and, bypassing the other passengers, came to me and demanded in Spanish to see my ticket as if he didn&#8217;t expect me to be on the bus. I showed him our tickets. This didn&#8217;t seem to satisfy him and he spoke again to me as if there was some problem with our tickets, in a very firm and stern response I pointed to Christie, Jody and Niamh counting one, two, three, and four, and pointed ...

... off in the direction of the surrounding hills. After about 10 minuted of heading out of town and onto more remote roads we both started to think we might be being kidnapped. We tried to confirm with our driver where we were going but our Spanish was letting us down. Soon we managed to get through to him by waving a lonely planet in front of his face. We turned around and spent the next 20 minutes driving around town looking for our accommodation. We eventually spotted it and ...

Then, walk south through Carrera 4th till you reach the corner with Calle 11th next to the library Luis Angel Arango. Then walk up Two and a half blocks and you will find a purple and white building - the DN house - in the middle of the block on your left hand side.

... the continent. This may very well be true, but once again my limited patience for artifacts was revealed. As much as I enjoy history, seeing five thousand almost identical pieces of gold, none of which were particularly arresting, left me super bored. That night I headed out with Diego, an Aussie girl called Jo and an American guy called Mike to meet the Columbian man from the bar. Unfortunately Mike´s phone ran out of credit and we never managed to get together with him. The area we ...

... in catsuits (and the 80.000 pesos for 4 hours work - 4 nights accom, basically) meant we up for an 8am start the next day. <br><br>It was THE most boring thing i have done in my life - 5 hours of sitting in a restaurant pretending to eat and talk whilst the retarded Argentinian lead actor forgot his lines again and again and again. Needless to say, no hot chicks in site either. Well, one, the lead actress, but she seemed like a super-*****. <br ...

... familie nettopp reist hjem, saann at det var plass til oss. Dagen etter reiste vi med den groenne bilen til Jorge Rico (som tilfeldigvis skulle kjoere en annen norsk familie!) til flyplassen for aa dra til Popayan. Og paa flyplassen i Popyan sto jamen meg Maria og venta paa oss. Hjemme hos Margarita var ting som de alltid har vaert (stille og moerkt), men Margarita var blitt mye eldre siden sist, og var kanskje ikke helt tilstede... men ...

... behind a Perspex sheet. The items that are supposed to be the highlight are a group of three mummies that are displayed in a reproduced setting similar to where they were found. There is a small model that shows about 20 mummies altogether sitting in different niches in a cliff face. They were quite scary as they still had teeth showing, these are not like the Egyptians, they are hunched in a sitting position and do not have any bandages covering them. From ...

... bags were still on the plane!), and fell asleep in minutes. At 6:00 AM someone knocked on our door and then the phone rang to make sure that we would wakeup. After a very short breakfast we jumped on the bus again for a crazy ride, we were at the airport at 7:00 AM, and the plane took off at 8:30. Without any other weird event we finally reached Quito on time. And all our bags were there, it was a miracle! After that I managed to get to the hostel ...
