Well after completing the diving which me and ultan were extremely chuffed with we decided we World head back down to Medellín with the girls, so we headed to the bus station and caught the overnight bus we decided to stay in the Kiwi hostel again as this is a good party hostel and usually there are some cool dudes in there.
We arrived mid morning booked in and then generally chilled for the day played pool etc caught up on boring things like diary and washing etc.We decided that we would cook again for the girls that evening so we popd to the supermarket and got our stuff. We met a few lads that had been in the hostel for a little while now we met Kiren and lex 2 brothers from New Zealand, Dave and Adrian both Aussies they seemed really cool lads so we just hung around with them chatting the blues.
The girls wanted to head to mangos a night club that is famous for its dancing midgets so we thought why not so we dolled on our glad rags and headed to the club, the club itself is fairly large and has a cowboy sort of theme there was various male and female dancers on the bars fairly fit I have to admit LOL.
Then the dancing midgets came on im not sure if it's PC but they seemed to enjoy it though they where pretty cool dancers. The evening was pretty funny far too much dancing and booze.We eventually woke the next day with sore heads but hey it was worth it we totted down to the kitchen and made breakfast it was fit for a king.We chilled that day as well I'm sure I'm getting lazy but hey im on holiday.
We played pool with the lads and generally did nothing but sit round and have a few beers.It was the girls last night with us as they was heading to Bogotá to catch flights so we wanted to do something special so we all decided to hit this night club called Vinacure so we all jumped in taxis in all I would say there was around 10 of us so we grabbed some taxis and of we went, with us was young Harry a little lad from England and Cliff and American dude, and of course the mad kiwis and aussie lads.The club was very bizarre a mix of sin, circus acts and experimentation the owner look as though she died 30 years ago but it was different but very cool.
We ordered our Ron Medellin (rum) and sat back and watch the events in front of us we all danced and drank far to much my friendship was sealed that night with one Kiwi Kieran me and him matched shot for shot of Ron it was a cool night many friendships was formed that evening and more adventures would later be had.As you can imagine we all were rather hung-over the next days the girls looked like death warmed up LOL.
We made them dinner then they headed to the station to catch there bus it was sad to say goodbye again but I know we will see them again.That evening I think the majority of people decided to have a quiet one as did me and Ultan, But we did decided to go Paragliding the next day so we was up nice and early unfortunately we couldn't do it then as the wind was wrong or something so we hung around till we got the green light to go it was around a hours taxi journey away up in the hills over looking Medellin I have to say the views of the city once we got there was fantastic, we met our instructor and got our kit on.
Paragliding is different from hand gliding as you have a parachute that keeps you in the air I was strapped to the instructor the chute was behind us and the hill was in front he gave me the thumbs up and of we ran towards the sheer drop then up up and away the wind caught the chute and we was rising on the thermals we drifted over the city for ages it seemed we was in the air for hours I now no what its like to be a bird it was a great feeling just hanging in mid air watching the world go by. Both I and ultan loved the experience I would defiantly recommend it.
That evening the guys decided they would finally leave and head up to Tantanga I said I would see them I a few days as Ultan had to move on as he needed to be in Santiago Chile to catch a flight to Sydney. I and Ultan just chilled that day as we were going to play golf the next day with the hostel owner Paul and another Aussie Will.
We was up nice and early to get to the course the course itself was semi private but they let us hire the clubs etc we had to have a caddie which I thought was very funny. Anyway after some warming up and much banter we teed of my first shot went extremely well considering I haven't played for a long time, we all had a blast but the winner in the end was the ginger ninja Ultan we all had a good time and it was well worth the money.
In the morning we decided to cook one last breakfast as Ultan was heading out that afternoon, so it was a bit of a sad time I had traveled with the ginger ninja for ages and it was sad to say goodbye but I know our paths will cross again one day. So we said our farewells and of he went. I was left with Harry the young Englishman and Cliff the mad New Yorker he's cool really so we decided that we would head out that evening to join the guys in Tantanga. Next stop again Tantanga
