Exploring Bogota 1

After a bit of a sleep in and gym session we walked to the nearby Exito which is a massive retail store selling nearly everything! Dean and Harry met us there. The teenagers got some clothes and we all had lunch from the food trucks.

We walked south along Avenida Carrera 9 and cut across to one of the older Bogota neighbourhoods around Parque de Usaquen where there is a nearby outdoor market. Dean suggested we have afternoon tea at Archies (very nice tiramisau) then we backtracked to the El Irish bar, which has an excellent local version of stout.

The plan had been to visit Monserrate which is a viewing spot over the city but the fernicular doesn't run that late in the day (apparently). So we headed back to the apartment for an early night as we all are flying to Cartagena tomorrow morning.Read more
