    February 2, 2018 in Colombia ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    We totally went crazy trying out the different fruits and foods. There were Ceviche sellers on cycle carts, burger vans, fruit sellers selling cut fruits... it was paradise again after a gap of 2 months. The only difference between Colombia and Bolivia (where we had enjoyed such fresh food and fruits) was that in Bolivia, people were very honest and most of the time we didn't need to bargain for good prices but in Colombia a thumb rule was to always negotiate, even in places you would think have fixed prices. Very quickly we found out how low we could get the prices before they would totally refuse to sell the different items. Once we knew these, we would just straight away offer the price and get the items as the locals would figure out we knew the right prices. It was fun😉
    After some street food, we had a proper meal at a restaurant near the old town that turned out to be a vegetarian joint. That was good news for me 😉 We had a day's meal of wraps, salad with sprouts, avocado salad and Lulo juice. Lulo was a new fruit for us that we had never had before. It had a nice citrus taste, predominantly like rhubarb but with a sourness of lime. It almost looks like a tomato from the outside but much more orangish.
