Day 44 Mompox

Another great day! Bus to Sincelejo only once a day so means staying in Mompox for an extra day, which I'm very glad happened! Switch up of accomodation and staying in a crazy nice hotel in the old town. Spent most of the early afternoon pottering about, browsing book stalls in the market, then ended up going for a bike ride with a guy called Alonso out of the town and through some local farms. Ate mangoes from the tree, bird watched and played dominoes in a countryside shack bar with some ladz. Cycled through the outer town, back for a quick dip at the hotel then met Alonso - he's a musician and we're going to grab his guitar and play music in the square, it was pouring rain so grabbed a tuktuk to a nearby 'discoteque' instead. We had a ball! Only ones there but got taught all the local dance moves, finally ate the delicious garlic sauce (tartara) with a Columbian version of a cheese straw 🤤 Blown away by how incredibly hospitable and kind people are here. A real highlight of a dayMeer informatie
