Things I love about Bogotà….

1- The street art. Grafitti is welcome in most places, and as a result there is some amazing work on display, everywhere you look.

2- The Sunday Cyclovia. The 7th Carrera(more on that later) is closed completely on Sunday mornings so people can take to the streets on their own wheels.

3- The Sunday flea markets. I have bought some seriously cool objects here, you gotta look about but that is all part of the fun!

4- The people. I have met some excellent travellers here, as well as Colombian locals. People are generally open, friendly and so accommodating!

5- The climate. Yes, it is cold, yes, it is rainy sometimes but where else in the world would you find 4 seasons in one day?

6- Cazuela de Mariscos. Better on the coast, but it is a seafood stew, served with rice, patacons(plantain patties) and hot sauce. Delicious!

7- The choice of vegetarian food! After Peru and to a lesser extent Ecuador, I feel like I am in heaven!

8- La Candelaria. Yes, it is filled with zombies after dark, yes, it is a bit dangerous but it is so beautiful and really has a community feel.

9- The fashion, and style. People here have a definite sense of style, I feel inspired as I didn`t in other countries.
