Day in Medellin

We decided to go to Medellin for one day. Alejas parents took the five of us (Aleja, Chin, Fabi, Sofi and myself) to parque Arvi from where we could take the metrocable to the city.
First stop in the center: plaza Botero. A whole different experience than outside of the city. Crowded with people and loud. But very colorful and interesting.

The best experience this day was by far La Comuna 13, a neighborhood in Medellin which has suffered a lot of violence and Guerilla, but now flourishes with culture and art. We stayed here until it got dark, took breaths of the Colombian culture here and gazed at the beautiful graffitis.

Ending the day a bit chaotic, trying to order and eat pizza within 30 minutes in a bad, we had to run to first catch taxis and then the last bus to Guarne at night. Made it but had to eat the pizza in the bus 🙈

Our last day together! Fabi is gonna leave tomorrow to fly back to Germany. A bit sad already, but we really had a marvelous time here. I will stay until the beginning of August, partly working and partly spending time with Alejas family.Read more
