Cali Summary The last week has flown by and tonight we're off to Bogota on the bus which we bought tickets for earlier today. A few highlights worth mentioning (in no particular order!) from the last 10 days include our salsa lessons with the wonderful Jacqui Garcia from Hermandad Latina.

After briefly going through our learned steps we put some music on (our 'Majorca'...

It was a short walk but once again the sun was scorching so we were forced to keep to the shade the entire way. We arrived to find a rather pretty mall, built in a modern style and full of fountains.
