We slept well last night and decided that we'll extend our stay in the Black Sheep Hostel for an extra 2 nights. The football match today between Colombia and Brazil sort of messed up our schedule plus we want to make a day trip to Guatapé. We had booked on a free walking tour of Medellín with Real City Tours but had no idea of what or where we might go, it had simply been recommended to us. Medellín is a massive city with 2 million people and co...

The bus was surprisingly comfortable to sleep in even if it was cold. The AC was cranked up so high it felt like minus 15c although with hoodies on and and a 'permantly borrowed' airline blanket thrown over us, we were fine. We had woken a few times through the night but managed to get back to sleep no problem. By dawn we were up in the mountains to the north of Medellin and we were greeted with a nice sunrise. The views across the mountains and high farmland w...

The alternative was to take a boat round which we considered to be the easier option. We walke...

We booked our tickets for the bus to Medellin tomorrow night but we haven't got email confirmation of our tickets - the payment went through ok!! After booking some accomm...

We were leaving Drop Bear Hostel today but were still struggling to work out where to go next. We'd been looking at going to Medellin either by plane or bus but were struggling trying to book anything. We decided we would move round to Taganga, a small fishing village literally just round the headland. It was supposed to be nice and would give us an extra day to work out getting to Medellin. We booked a place online but within the time it took David to go to th...
