We were really pleased to arrive in Bogota, Colombia, to find a truly cosmopolitan city full of universities and students, clean new cars, new buildings, small bars, excellent restaurants, giant new malls, squares and wonderfully restored civic buildings.
Venezuela is by far more hostile and uninviting for the independent traveller. We've checked into a hostel called Platapus, it's got some interesting characters (the Americans are the oddest) but its in a charming part of town. Bogota is like a bit of Barcelona in Central America, very cool and progressive.
We bought a new camera yesterday (Panasonic Lumix FH20 - really good point-and-shoot camera for use in all situations). Here are a few pics of us walking around town this afternoon!
