Bogotá - after a 10hr night bus journey through the Andes, I finally reached Bogotá.
I also only stayed here a couple of days and made friends with some wonderful Australian brothers, two lovely local girls and met up with Luca an old friend of my dear friend Francesco.
It's a beautiful city and the visit couldn't have started any better - I jumped on a bus to head to my hostal, http://zoharhostelbogota.com, and met 2 university students who were also heading the same direction as me, Lau and Alejandra.
We talked a bit on the way as they were revising some notes for an exam. As we got off, I had no clue which way to go…. so they went out of their way and kindly offered to walk with me till the hostal to make sure I wouldn't get lost!!! Now, this doesn't usually happen, specially in a big city, capital… It just went to show, once more, how lovely Colombians are!!
As I got to the hostal, I found that I was sharing my room with the Torcello brothers, two loooovely Aussies travelling the World for 9 months. I basically spent the days with them, having a great unforgettable laugh.
Here are the boyz, aka my Bodyguards! :)

| Chillaxing... |
Now guess what… I had no idea, but Bogotá also has a Monserrate Mountain, just like Barcelona!! It must be a sign, Barcelona following me everywhere!! :)

That's how high it goes…. ears popping again!
Humongous endless city views from up there:
The End of 2 full sightseeing days, well deserved boyz! :)
Next stop: Armenia, the Land of the Coffee Making! :)
