Colombia vol 2: Medellin

Took a nightbus from Cartagena to Medellin after a terrible night/morning of suffering from food poisoning. It's my second time ever of getting a food poisoning and this one was no joke. We can only blame ourselves tho. Eating local foods is one of the mandatory aspects of traveling in my opinion, including local food carts and all that (and this has not changed), but I guess eating raw stuff that may or may not be fresh (oysters in Ceviche in our case) is not the wisest thing one should do. Anyways, everything we read about night buses was horrifying, especially that the climate in the bus is Arctic. So we came prepared. In reality, it was not that bad. I guess it depends on a bus company, but I can sure recommend Rapido Ochoa buses. The seats were super comfy and reclined just enough. There was leg room and it was not that cold, it wasn't exactly earn either but as we came with sleeping bags it was lovely and the 13,5 hours went by quicker than the 2,5 hours would go on a Ta...

Columbia vol 1: Bogotá - Cartagena

It has definitely been a very memorable trip this far!

Olà Bogotà

After sleeping less than 2 hours flew out of Estonia for a long-awaited adventure in South-America. First stop was Frankfurt, Germany for 6 hours. Over-exhausted we spent mainly time in bars, enjoying some craft beers or aimlessly walking around the long corridors of different terminals, where people like Giovanni were trying to be helpful but ended up confusing us even more.  When finally we were ready to board the next flight, it was delayed a bit and after successfully fighting off sleep the previous 6 hours, during that last extra half an hour both me and Keiu managed to fall asleep around 3 times each. Finally up in the air the sleep was gone of course, so had time for 11 hours to watch movies, series, play games and eat and drink. Stewards and stewardesses were super lovely and the flight was more or less smooth. Finally here we are in beautiful Bogotà and even jet leg couldn't stop a long night-sleep. Feeling alive again, let the exploring begin!
