Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena

Bogota

Few day stopover in capital city. Walked around town and stumbled across a party on the 30th floor one evening with panoramic city views.






Medellin
Another few day stop, this time in Pablo Escobar´s former hometown. In parts, was the most upscale city of the trip so far.



The perfect utensil for eating chicken - plastic gloves

A rare chance to do something good for the body


Cartagena
Night bus up to the Carribean and the romantic city of Cartagena (especially true if you find it romantic when your significant other is constantly wearing a thin coat of perspiration).



The travel group at the moment on the hotel deck, Michele, Ant, Abdi, Shane.


Playa Blanca
Boat trip to snorkle off the coast of the Rosario Islands and then stayed a night at Playa Blanca.


Slept in hammocks about 20 ft from the clear blue for about $3. I have a deep love for hammocks, a love for taking siestas in them and for what they embody, but found out it´s not the most comfortable way to spend the entire night.



With the beauty come the bugs


Some of the guys left earlier hitching rides of the back of locals bikes
Next
Bumming around the Carribean coast for the next 2 weeks. Re-entry into reality is coming soon, with a return plane ticket having recently been purchased for July 13th.
