Cambio, What Cambio? We made it across the border without another genital exposing search by the military but did have another very strange experience. There was not a single money changer on either side of the border. Normally we are inundated by people wanting to change currency as we are trying to get through immigration, but that evening there was a money drought. Luckily the bus driver let u...

News On Colombia
Hi John Not only do I reccommend Colombia but we have been travelling for a year and a half and Colombia is one of the best countries we have been to. REALLY nice people, cheap and beautiful. We were travelling as 1 guy and 2 girls and we never once felt in danger, even in Bogota. I felt more nervous in Brazi that I ever did im Colombia. The guns and drugs are a thing of the past. Go there now before it is spoiled by tourism in 10 years. David
