Bogota can be proud: Not only the Host drug barons, but many good museums Rachel, USA As soon as I became accustomed to the humid embrace the hot sun in the city of Cartagena, it was time to leave. Despite the fact that the city I liked, I unfortunately could not stay there forever. Check out the views of the mountains from Cartagena was unexpectedly funny. Manuel, a taxi driver where I get to the airport, spend more time looking at me (in the rearview mirror) than on the road, and kept asking me different questions like: "And the guy you got? Are you married? And children? How did you not have a boyfriend? And why do you not have a boyfriend? And how old are you? (After the question he asked me to remove the sunglasses and looked at me and said: "Beautiful Eyes.") When you plan to return to Cartagena? Give me your photo? And take a photo of yourself! Call me? "And at the airport:" When you come back, find me. Remember my face "- and he gave me his number. I started giggling. So funny! Monument to the poet Moving in Bogota was a real challenge for my body. All told me that it's cold here, and guess what - here awfully cold! But at least now my hair will look normal and will cease to curl. But in Bogota was not just a cold when I arrived here, was rain, sometimes amplified to the shower. Only now, I consulted with my guidebook and found that it was written that "the wettest months - April and October." Now May, but it is obvious that the weather gods are not watching the calendar with due care. Also, what is cold and moist, the city also is located in the Andes at an altitude of 2600 meters. At first, his terrible headache, I can not linked with the mountain location of the city, but today again I looked into your guide book and read it as follows: "In the highlands may be exacerbated altitude sickness." Will need to continue to read more about the places where I'm going to go to war museum itself flight was pretty cool, as, indeed, and a taxi to the city. At least for the most part quietly, until I noticed a puff of smoke in the distance and heard some sounds, something reminiscent of the shots. I thought that everything was exaggerating, and just somewhere nearby road works are carried out. However, when we drove closer, I realized that I was not wrong: there was a tank and soldiers of the police detachment to disperse demonstrators, armed with shields, tear gas and an arsenal of weapons! We passed about 50 meters from the police. My taxi driver, all these events do not seem very worried, and only slightly interested. I asked him what was happening, he replied: "Ah! It's just a student. " Such a response I did not like, and I asked about this reception in the hotel, telling all that I saw on the road. She replied: "Well, the university students are always a little crazy. Do not worry, we will fully retain control over the situation in the country. " Interesting answer! Not that I did not believe her, but I had to go in search of more complete information, so I got into the internet and found several articles with photos. The Administrator was right, all the incident took only a few hours. Once on the suppression of the demonstrations was sent five tanks, protest ended in itself. True, the protesters were university students, and nobody knows what actually had happened. Just so happened that my taxi passed by, just at a time when the police began the crackdown. Wow first impression of the city! Read more:
