Colombia

11/04/11 We´re in Colombia!  Bogota, the capital, to be precise.  From Lima, we flew to Quito (didn´t make it out the airport so I don´t think we can put Equador on the list!), and then on to Medellin, Colombia.  Then...we went straight to the bus station and took an overnight to Bogota.  It was a long one.

So Bogota is COLD!  We are just North of the Equator (yep, back in the Northern Hemisphere:) and it´s base layers and raincoats :)  When will this exotic 9 month travelling suntan kick in!  We´re still in the Andes at 2600m.  Can´t wait to hit the coast!

Grace is FED UP!  But discovered shopping warms the cockles. Nice bag ;)

Plaza (Simon) Bolivar.  Really, no sun? Really?

Mmm...egg.

Man renting his mobiles (on chains) by the minute.  It would be nice if you could climb in his coat for privacy.

Loads of nice cafes with HOT drinks and sugary cakes :)

Museo Del Oro.  The gold museum was really cool.  Amazing pre-Colombian, pre-Spanish (old) collection and awesome designs of figures and symbols.  We also visited the Botero Gallery to see some art.
