Travl anden dag i Bogota

Dansk: Idag har vi været ude og opleve en masse. Vi vågnede igen kl 3 imorges (men idag er planen ikke at sove til middag og forhåbentlig komme ud over jetlagget), men vi havde fået købt olie så vi kunne spise morgenmad allerede kl 6 istedet for at vente på at hostel restauranten åbnede. Da klokken så endelig blev 9 gik vi ud for at se Museo Botero (Botero er en colombiansk kunstner). Selve museet er gratis at besøge, og det er af en ret fin grund. Botero havde selv boet i Paris tidligere og synes at det var alt for dyrt at komme på museum og se kunst. Da han så fik sit eget museum i Bogotá var det på den betingelse at det altid skulle være gratis at komme ind, for alle mennesker, ligegyldigt økonomi, skulle have mulighed for at se hans billeder. Det var dog ikke kun hans billeder der hang derinde, men alt var doneret at Botero selv. Så vi fandt Picasso, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Dali og endda en Asger Jorn. Så kom lidt af Danmark til Colombia ;)
Efter Museo Botero var vi inde og se en virkelig flot kirke og så videre til Museo Colonial (Koloni Museet). Det var meget større end vi havde regnet med og virkelig spændende. Vi lærte en masse om koloniseringen af Sydamerika (primært Colombia) fra start til slut. Det var virkelig spændende men vi måtte tilbage til vores hostel, for vi havde booket os på en food tour om eftermiddagen, hvor vi skulle på en gåtur rundt i Bogotá og prøve en masse specialiteter fra hele landet. Det var virkelig lækkert og vi blev meget mætte. Vi var syv i alt med på turen (os, 3 nordmænd og 2 tyskere). De tre nordmænd var virkelig flinke så da vi var færdige med turen gik vi ud og fik en øl med dem. Nu er vi virkelig trætte og håber på ikke at vågne kl 3 imorgen tidlig igen 🤞

English: Today has been a busy and eventful day. We started the day off again by waking up at 3 in the morning but at least we had remember to by oil for the breakfast so today we could cook our breakfast at six when we were hungry. Then we just had to relax until 9 o’clock when the Museo Botero opened (Botero is a Colombian artist). The museum itself is free to visit and it’s a very sweet reason why. Botero had lived in Paris himself but always thought it was very expensive to go to museums. So when he got his own museum in Bogotá it was on the one condition that it would always have to be free to the public because everyone, no matter their financial status, should be able to see his art. It wasn’t all his own art though, but it was all donated by him. So we also got to see some Picasso, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Dali and even a Danish artist Asger Jorn had found his was to Colombia.
After the Museo Botero we went to see a very nice church and then onward to the Museo Colonial (The Colonial Museum). Here we got to learn everything about the Spanish colonisation from start to finish and it was really interesting. But we had to move on and back to the hostel cause we had booked on to a food tour in the afternoon. We had a guide walk us around town and show us different specialities from all around Colombia. It was really delicious and an interesting way to learn more about the country and see the city. We were seven people on the tour (3 Norwegians, us and 2 Germans) and after the tour ended we went and had some beers with the Norwegian guys. So it was a long but fun day and now we’re hoping to sleep the full night through 🤞Read more
