Saturday, after a lovely sleep in at Cranky Croc Hostel and a well awaited protein full omelette breakfast, we were collected at the hostel by the Bogota bike company at 1pm.
We started off by cycling downtown to a market where we tried lots of different fruits including lulo, tomatoe del arbo, maraya and dragon fruit. Ruth and Kate also tried some rather spicy peppers! With sufficient vitamin C, we headed to play a game of tejo (literally throwing rocks at boards with packs of gun powder)!
After this we were shown graffiti murals around the city. Then we went to a coffee factory and had some amazing coffee! After an amazing shower we had some dinner and chilled for the evening.

Sunday, we woke up early with the challenge of a 2,450 metre hike (1,500 steps) to the Cathedral of Monserrate. We all got the chance to use our rain jackets for the first time, but the rain didn't put us off the task in hand, and we made it to the top within the hour. We all said a prayer, made a wish in the wishing well and got some coffees. The queue for the cable car down was too long, so we decided to make the decent by foot. After a stretch at the bottom, we made our way to the Museum of Gold, stopping for a icecream on the way. Now eagerly awaiting the final result of the Venezuela v Columbia match to see if we can cash in, then a packing session, and we plan of finding a recommended Mexican restaurant for dinner.
