Bogota. We arrived in Bogota just before 11am to discover that Bogota suffers from English weather and went straight to the tourist information with Venette where the most helpful lady we have met so far in our travels provided us with maps, guides and direction to get to the Candelaria area where our hostel was all for free.

There being no one in the TV room we were able to move the table and have ourselves a nice little dancefloor with the fan from the dorm to ourselves without being in the way of people coming in or out of the various rooms.
