Lunch

Our lunch stop was at Mister Parilla, a barbecue restaurant less than a minute's drive from the Salt Cathedral.  It was very cool with lots of American paraphernalia and live music.  Most importantly, the food was very good!  We shared a meat platter as the portions looked enormous!!  We chose to have beef, pork, and chiguiro.  The latter translates as capybara, the largest living rodent and a close relative of the guinea pig.  Well, when in Rome and all that!  It was absolutely delicious!!

After lunch, we drove back to Bogota.  Steven said that usually, the journey takes between two and four hours because of the traffic.  Today, however, the schools were closed, so it only took us an hour and a half.

Back at the hostel, we packed and organised a taxi ready for our early morning journey to the airport tomorrow.Read more
