Last day in Bogota we finally took the funicular to the top of the mountain. Shame it’s misty here but it lifted before we descended.
Mon 3 Oct 2011: Our penultimate day spent relaxing in the thermal spas in the mountains east of Bogotá. On the way to the bus station we saw this drugs cache being photographed by the Police however when Rob took a photograph he was immediately told to stop. Go figure!! Then in the evening we were approached by someone offering drugs. We said no and thanked him for thinking we were young enough to go for such stuff. He seemed confused! Rob y Jan
Luckily we found this place http://www.termalessantamonica.com for our penultimate day. An hour’s bus ride over the mountains from Bogotá and into quite a different environment - wish we’d found it before. This video is taken after we have changed out of our cossies so suitable viewing before the watershed.
Sun 2 Oct 2011: Second from last full day before we go home. It being a Sunday some Bogotá streets were closed to traffic for cyclists and walkers. So we walked. We visited three ‘flea’ markets where we bought surprisingly little. I think we’ve finally realised how much stuff we have to take home. We also came across an official demonstration for animals and also a dance class in a park. It was good seeing the locals out and about. Rob
