Antarctica_III_2025_三赴南极

We had an 18-hour layover for our connecting flight, which was perfect for a day trip to Bogotá, a city full of history with a population of about 14 million.
Our guide, Gerald, planned the itinerary very well, with great timing to avoid crowds and minimal walking between attractions. We took the cable car up to Mount Monserrate, enjoying views of the city and spotting hummingbirds and other birds (I still need to look up their names). Later, we visited the Museo del Oro (Gold Museum), which impressed us with its rich history and the remarkable craftsmanship of Indigenous peoples before the Spanish era.
After the museum, we strolled through the streets to see sculptures and monuments, getting a quick sense of Bogotá’s history, culture, and markets. By pure luck, we ran into a man and a woman (Gerald recognized them) who were winners for making the best-tasting coffee—he in Colombia and she in France. We were bold enough to ask them for a group photo. Then we visited their shop and tasted real Colombian coffee.
导游 Gerald 在行程规划方面非常出色，时间拿捏得恰到好处，既避开了人潮，也减少了景点之间的步行距离。我们乘坐缆车登上 蒙塞拉特山（Mount Monserrate），俯瞰城市风景，并观察到蜂鸟及其他鸟类（这些鸟的名字我之后需要上网查一查）。
随后我们参观了 黄金博物馆（Museo del Oro），被哥伦比亚原住民在西班牙殖民前时期创造的丰富历史与神奇工艺深深震撼。
接着我们在街区漫步，欣赏雕塑、纪念碑，快速感受波哥大的历史、文化与市集气息。
非常巧的是，我们路遇一对男女，Gerald 认出他们分别是哥伦比亚最佳咖啡制作冠军(男士）；法国最佳咖啡制作冠军（女士）。我们鼓起勇气上前与他们合影，之后又到他们的店里品尝真正的哥伦比亚咖啡。Baca lagi
