Nacional

We explored the suburb of El Poblado, where we were staying, as we didn't have a lot of time before our football tour started. We saw some street art, got some lunch, and then wandered back to the hostel to meet our group. Most seemed really cool, and right away, we met Daniel, a nice guy from London, and Kat, another Brit who we spent most of the day with. The tour started out the front of a supermarket, enjoying some cheap drinks, learning the teams' chants, and purchasing some Nacional Jersey's. They are the local team and the ones we would be supporting for today. They are toward the bottom of the table, and a win was very important to get them into the cup competition for next year. It was the second last game of the season and, therefore, pivotal. We then went to the pub for some still very reasonably priced drinks, had some tequila shots, and wandered to the stadium. When we arrived we were bitterly disappointed to learn that they didn't serve alcohol. This meant two hours of sobering up. Yet, somehow, we survived to the end of the game and could find a pub for a drink. The game was pretty average, but our team grinded out a 1-0 result, so that was good. We ate wings and drank wine out the bottle before heading back to the rooftop of Viajero to drink. We then all went to the clubs until about 2:30am, but after this it was time to head off as Sarah wasn't feeling great.En savoir plus
