Travel & Arriving in Bogota
2023年6月20日, コロンビア ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
First main leg was Sydney to Santiago (12 hours). We all enjoyed the Qantas lounge and the flight was very comfortable. One person maybe had a bit too much vino but we survived. We had about 5 hours in transit in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱. The final leg was to Bogota, Colombia 🇨🇴 (6 hours). We cleared Customs about 10:30pm. Family met us at the airport and we had a wonderful welcome. Dean's Aussie care package arrived intact. Have had a decent sleep overnight and can't wait to get out and explore... once the teenagers wake up!もっと詳しく

Wednesday in Bogota
2023年6月21日, コロンビア ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We are spending Wednesday and Thursday in Bogota. Miguel and Christina are hosting us in their beautiful apartment. Everyone woke up on Wednesday morning not feeling too bad and got through the day.

After breakfast Claudia and Dean came over and we had a look around the apartment complex. After lunch we walked to the Parque El Country, which is an old polo field now used as open space. Bogota is very densely populated so any park is welcome. Dean's local AFL team (the Bogota Bulldogs) train here.

We continued walking to the Unicentro Shopping Mall where Liam bought shoes and Georgia had ice cream. After we got back home and changed dinner was at Carnaby Street Pasaje Gastronomico which is like a food court (but a good one).

Later we watched on TV the Colombia v Panama women's football friendly and went to bed about 9:30pm.もっと詳しく

Dean's Workshop and A BBQ
2023年6月22日, コロンビア ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Thursday morning and we all were up feeling pretty normal. Some went to the gym with Miguel and I started on Duo Lingo - better late than never!

Dean and Claudia arrived and we all went to his workshop to help move out a Toyota Landcruiser and see his project Beemer (a 3 series with a 6.2 litre V8). After that we had a magnificent chicken lunch and walked to Dean and Claudia's apartment.

Another walk to get beef, sausages (Argentinean - yum) plus salad for a BBQ at Andy and Natalia's place. We had a great time chatting with everyone and discovered Georgia has a talent for pouring tap beers (rules go out the window here). The boys started to get a bit tired so we headed home.

Tomorrow (Friday) we are driving to Villa de Leyva for a weekend at the family home there.もっと詳しく

Off to Villa de Leyva
2023年6月23日, コロンビア ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
We left Bogota about 9:30am, heading for the family's house at Villa de Leyva. Nice to have a reminder of Colombian crazy driving on rural roads. On the way we visited the Puente de Boyacá and Simón Bolívar monument. More info here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puente_de_Boyacá

Lunch was in Santa Teresita and we arrived at Villa de Leyva. The house is very comfortable. We managed to have a swim and dinner in town. Tomorrow we will hit the town properly.もっと詳しく

Saturday in Villa de Leyva
2023年6月24日, コロンビア ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
On Saturday morning (after some handball drills) we headed into the centre of town to explore, shop and have coffee. The huge cobbled Plazor Mayor (town square) is full of marquees and other crap for a cycling event - so those pictures have been ripped off the internet.

The town was founded in 1572 with narrow cobbled roads radiating out from the Plazor Mayor. There was little development over the centuries so virtually all of the Colonial architecture was preserved. The town was declared a national monument in 1954. The surrounding landscape is spectacular and in the valley many dinosaur fossils have been unearthed. (Wikipedia)

The town is very touristy by Colombian standards but is not in any way ruined by it. There are lots of courtyards with cafes, bars and restaurants.

We went back to the house for lunch and had Nancy's delicious Aijaco which is a chicken soup served with maize (corn), rice, avocado and capers. Once the food coma wore off we had a swim.

Dean and I lit the bbq and we had snags in bread (pan) for dinner, played music and some waited for the Collingwood game to start. Tomorrow we head back to Bogota. This really is a special place.もっと詳しく

Return to Bogota
2023年6月25日, コロンビア ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
A travel day today, not much happened apart from experiencing our first Colombian traffic jam - surprised it took this long to be honest. We are back in Bogota and here until Tuesday morning, when we fly to Cartagena.もっと詳しく

旅行者 Very special place! wow that traffic! you could have walked!
2023/06/26返信する翻訳する
旅行者 The traffic jam was caused by the road back to Bogota being closed for the cycling event near Villa de Leyva. The same event that had filled the Plaza Mayor with marquees and other garbage. We had maybe a 30 minute wait. But Bogota traffic was very quiet for a Sunday, Dean was surprised.

Exploring Bogota 1
2023年6月26日, コロンビア ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
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.もっと詳しく
