Here´s the update! We are going to be home in a week so we´ll keep this short. Colombia was brilliant! We showed up in Cartagena the day before the largest annual celebration and were not dissapointed, in fact it might have been the wildest couple days of our lives. Unfortunately we don´t have many pics to show because it would have been camera suicide¡¡¡ As soon as you step out of your hostel you´re slapped in the face with paint and flour, and for the duration of your excursion the berage doesn´t stop. By the end of the night everybody looks like dancing evil clowns, but it was rad!!
So after leaving the continent´s largest colonial Spanish port we headed off to the Bogota to check out the infamous city of 11 million. We took a gondola to the highest point which was cool, the city is massive from that perspective. Then headed about an hour out of town to check out a massive underground cathedral that was dug out of an old salt mine. Words can not describe the size of this place. At one time almost 9000 people can fit in it, damn big.
And off to Quito, Ecuador we went, smack dab on the equator. But cold. Cool really old town though, 78 catholic churches within the city limits, kind of excessive? But that´s the Spanish for ya I guess.
From there we headed to da beach for a few days of waves and Capairinas. Great chillout mini vacation before we took the 30+ hour bus journey to Lima, Peru. And directly onto a plane to where we lay our bags right now, Cusco. A city resting light at about 11,000ft and our last stop till Machu Picchu. So we shall leave you my good people because we have run our of air and must retreat to the bar.
Chau and see you all soon!
