Olimme ainoina aamupalalla klo 6-6.45. Klo 8 lähdimme taksilla kohti Monserratea. Funikulariin ei ollut pitkä jono. Aurinko paistoi ja oli hyvä näkyvyys. Ylhäältä näki hyvin laajan kaupungin. Otettiin ensin kylmät juomat ja sitten kahvit. Palatessa pitikin sitten jonottaa funikulariin yli tunti. Ajettiin taksilla vanhaan kaupunkiin Candeleriaan. Käytiin museossa, Santa Claran kirkossa ja sitten syömässä. Käveltiin vielä lisää, ennen kuin mentiin taksilla hotelliin. Illalla satoi vettä. Kävin vastapäätä olevassa kissakahvilassa ja kävelin ympäristössä. ... read more

Lento lähti Amsterdamista klo 9.30 ja saapui Bogotáan 11 tuntia myöhemmin klo 14.30. Arnold oli tarjoutunut tulemaan vastaan lentokentälle. Vaihdoin vielä euroja. Piti näyttää passi ja antaa sormenjälki. Taksilla hotelliin Chapineroon, jossa Jukka odotti. Kävin suihkussa. Jukka näytti paikan, josta sai paikallisen liittymän. Kävin syömässä ja menin ajoissa nukkumaan. ... read more

Mon-Wed Oct 22-24 – Back to Bogota Back in Bogota for 22-24 October, after arriving by Sarpa Airlines from La Macarena, around 3.00pm. The bus transported us back to the main terminal in Bogota and after saying goodbye to 4 of our fellow travellers who lived in Bogota, we hopped into a taxi and went back to the Cranky Croc Hotel. I dived into the shower and washed some clothes. That night we had a light dinner and in bed by 9.30pm after being up at 4.00am in La Macarena for the misty sunrise! We organised a tour for the next day with Freddy who owns the True Colombian Experience tour company. This was the La Chorrera and El Chiflón waterfalls day trip from Bogotá including 3 to 4-hour round-trip hike. (350,000 COP each – ... read more

Thursday Oct 18- Monday Oct 22 – Caño Cristales CRISTALES AVENTURA TOURS 5 DAYS TOUR – TOTAL $1,900 all inclusive incl flight Day 1-5 of Caño Crystales – 18-22 October 2018 We left for the Bogota International Airport at 6.30am allowing 1 hour for the morning traffic. It only took us 30 minutes and as our instructions were to wait outside gate No 2, we did this. It was distinctively cool but in minutes a gentleman with the Sapra Airlines logo asked if we were Pamela and Thomas, then showed us inside the terminal and met up with other tour guests going to La Macarena. No one spoke English!!!! By now we were wishing we had stayed with our Spanish lessons 5 years before. We were then driven by bus to the smaller Sapra Terminal and ... read more

Sunday Oct 14-18 – Travel to Bogota, Colombia We flew with Virgin Airlines to LAX then with Avianca Airlines to Bogota, staying at the Cranky Croc Hotel in the middle of the city old town (Centro Historico). Leaving Brisbane at 9.30pm after saying goodbye to Kerrie and after Adam dropped us off, and after making some last minute phone calls and email. We had 2 ½ hours in LAX and we needed all of that. The flight to Bogota was around 7 hours, arriving at 7.45am on 15/10. We flew through the night from Brisbane-LAX and also from LAX to Bogota with the time-zone changes. We had organised a hotel shuttle, but we didn’t see anyone holding up our name so caught a taxi, no problems. Straight away we saw how cheap things were in Bogota. ... read more

Our final stop on this trip was a 10 hour layover in Bogota, Colombia. We had no interest of visiting the city when we were here previously but seeing as we had time to kill we thought we had better make the most of it. It turned out to be quite nice for the time we visited! We booked the free walking tour and then planned to have lunch and dinner and that was going to take up most of our layover time. Plus we get to visit Colombia again which was our favourite country on the trip! We were slightly annoyed that our flight was delayed from BA making us 30 minutes late in joining the walking tour and missing lunch. As usual a walking tour is a great way to visit areas of a ... read more

On Monday, May 28, I arrived at 12:30AM to Bogotá. I took an Uber to my hostel and, after checking in, I went to get some food. It was already too late to go to any free walking tour and I wasn't feeling well, so I stayed at the hostel. I was really tired and cold and so I just watched a movie. I barely managed to go to a shop to get some food for dinner and everything was kind of difficult. In the morning and during the flight I had been full of energy and at first I didn't know what had changed, but then I realized I was getting the flue... So I went to bed very early and only met Joanna from Denmark, a girl staying in my dorm. She was nice ... read more

Montag, den 28. Mai kam ich um 12h30 in Bogotá an. Ich habe ein Uber zu meinem Hostel genommen und, nach dem Check-in, bin ich zu Mittag essen gegangen. Es war bereits zu spät noch eine Free Walking Tour zu machen und mir ging es nicht so besonders gut, da habe ich den Nachmittag einfach im Hostel verbracht. Ich war total müde und mir war schrecklich kalt, deshalb habe ich nur im Bett gelegen und einen Film geschaut. Ich habe es kaum geschafft zum Supermarkt zu gehen und mir etwas zu essen zu kaufen ; alles war irgendwie schwierig. Morgens und während dem Flug war ich noch voller Energy und ich wusste erst nicht, was geänder hatte, aber dann habe ich realisiert, dass ich die Grippe hatte... Ich bin dann sehr früh ins Bett gegangen und ... read more
