Museo de Oro After a late night we eventually dragged ourselves out of bed at half 10 or so. We waited around the hostel for an hour or so to see if anyone else would join us and when they didn't we left. The gold museum in Bogota is a must see according to the guide books and although we generally ignore their advice we decided to check it out. Not least because it's free on sundays. On the way we picked up 3 empanadas each and a couple of coffees which we devou...

Plaza Bolivar We eventually got up today at just after 11 after a rather chilly night, resolving to steal blankets off another bed for tonight to help keep warm. The problem with travelling is that you change climates overnight and it can take a few days to get used to the new weather, be it heat or cold...in this instance very British chilly rain! Anyway, the day seemed warmer than yesterday and at least it wasnt raining yet so after going out for a coffee wi...

Not only does she look incredibly young for her age but her energy and enthusiasm are matched only by her skills as a dancer...the woman is amazing!! We had lessons every oth...

Tin Tin Deo Another day of doing b***** all, but this time for a good reason, we needed to save our money so we could go out tonight to a salsa club we'd heard was good and actually had people dancing in it! We got chatting with some of the other guests, 2 girls who were a little bit mad and a guy from Australia who were travelling together at present and when we said where we were going that night they asked if they could join us. We were happy for them to c...
