Bogotá

Highlights:
- Not a terrible night bus! We arrived a little sleepy, but we were able to have a shower straight away so could get on with our 1 full day in Bogotá
- The gold museum was quite cool, lots of shiny things in cabinets!
- Going to the Irish pub for St Patrick's day and meeting with Gabby (who is Irish) and Will for some green beers and a Bailey's for Serena!
- The Botero museum was really good, and not too big so we didn't get bored!

Lowlights:
- It rained a lot which scuppered plans like a cycle tour and going up the mountain for views across the city
- We spent a chunk of time shopping as we had to get some more clothes for the coming weeks

Food and drinks:
- Serena tried the famous Colombian combination of hot chocolate with cheese and an almojaban (maize dough ball) - it was nice but sticking to the pure hot chocolate from now!
- Josh got a croissant with chicken and mushrooms from a french bakery which he loved, and we chatted to the french baker (in a mix of English, Spanish and French!) and he gave us a croissant for free
- We ate a few buñuelos - these were sweet ones like donuts, filled with chocolate, caramel, and guava jam
- Ajiaco - a chicken and potato soup which is a typical Colombian dish
- Pan de bono - another Colombian food which is a bread roll made with yucca flour and cheese
- Our final arepas - sad to be leaving them behind!En savoir plus
