    Today I had to say goodbye to Leona 🥲. She was super cool.

    Afterwards Lara and myself went went to the highway and took a bus to the border at 7:50. we arrived at 10:45 there and the immigrations was the easiest I have ever done. In Ecuador 4 people have been I front of us & in Colombia no one. Also no one asked for a return ticket.

    Then we went to the ipiales bus station and left our luggage there. Afterwards we changed & withdrawaled money and I bought a SIM card. Everything seems already more cheaper.

    Then we went to National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Las Lajas, which impressed me and Lara suuuuuper much!
    A basilica in a valley with an patron/waterfall and a river & also the white colours😍wow!

    Lara and myself had both an emotional time in the basilica, because our granddad’s died recently.

    We walked around ~3h and went to different viewpoints.

    Afterwards we decided to eat guinea pig, what you could do in Peru or Ecuador also. But now I did it! 12€ and It was enough for 2. The haul was very good when it was warm! It was also more complicated to eat it, because of the bones. It really tasted good and I liked it, but I don’t know if I would need it again.

    Then we went to the bus station again and now we are taking a night bus to popayan, which is famous for his Centro historico.
