Time to move on

After the lovely experience at the filigree workshops we walked to the nearby basilica of Menor del Santisimo Cristo de Mompox. It had a beautiful wooden interior roof and a gilded apse. From here, we walked along the banks of the river Magdalena. Here we had our lunch at one of the restaurants on the banks of the river with out sitting tables overlooking the calm flowing waters of the Magdalena under the soothing shadows of the trees on the banks. After our lunch, we went back to the Santa Barbara church where we picked up our bags from the hostel and then walked over to the bus station to catch our night bus to San Gil some 450 kms away.Baca lagi
