• Get Bogged (Adios Bogotá)

    I wasn't sure what to expect going into Bogotá. More than one traveller I'd met in Colombia had told me that Bog wasn't worth visiting for long or not to go at all.

    I can happily say that advice is totally wrong. Bogotá is not as touristy as Medellín and is definitely rougher around the edges. Also in the middle.... but overall everyone is overwhelmingly nice, helpful and loves to give you extremely long and confusing advice.

    Highlights were the gold museum which detailed Colombias pre colonial past, salsa class at the language exchange centre, going for a night out in Colombia's largest night club Theatron, the Botero museum showcasing all of his amazing and crazy art and a trip out of the city to the unique ecosystem called Páramo where the weird and wonderful frilajones grow.
