We had a wonderful night last night. Our hotel (Viaggio) cost $C 110 /night and was worth every penny.
After breakfast we had some time to wander around. We checked out of the hotel at 11:15 and had the hotel call for the taxis that just go to the airport (100,000 pesos/ $C 29 each way).
We arrived in plenty of time for our flight at 2:30. The flight was delayed until 3:15 and was about 80% full.
We landed in Bogota and had to wait between 5-10 minutes as we were at the back of the plane. After a long walk to the national departures connecting door we immeediately found our connecting flight gate. Ten minutes later we started loading for the next flight.
A couple of firsts for us on this flight. Before we took off the stewardesses discovered a group of people drinking from a bottle of booze (which was immediately confiscated). Next, as the plane left the tarmac on takeoff all the children in our area cheered and screamed. Hmmm! Upon arrival everybody clapped (which I guess must be the culture here).
We caught a taxi to our condo. Our initial reaction is disappointing. I hope it is just because we are tired.
The area around here is a zoo. VERY busy and as I write this at 10PM there are loud party type sounds from the beach (which we have a nice view of). The waitress at the restaurant we went to for supper says it is even busier on the weekend. I think we may have become spoiled during our stays in Manzanillo.
All is not lost though!
Great temperatures for the time we are here!
