It is safe to say that the beginning of our trip in Colombia was not pretty. We went from a delicious 30 odd in Rio to a grey, wet and miserable 9 degrees, and when we were really lucky it hailed. Hostel Casa Queveda, our first hostel was a nightmare. From the bar playing AC/DC and buskers wailing til all hours in the square outside to people being mugged and the dog barking at our window til 5am. By that stage I was googling other hostels to stay in and at 8am we checked out. Then to really entertain us, there was a massive student rally just a few blocks from Platypus, the new hostel. The rally quickly turned into a riot, with the students using paintball guns to make their point heard. Made for intersting viewing.
Bogota looked like it must have been a great city but the incessant rain and cold held us back. On the upside, we found some great restaurants and life is suddenly very very cheap!
