Partying in Medellin

Medellin, Colombia
after Salento, before Cartegena... whatever dates that´d be.

   I don´t go partying a lot while travelling, but on Thursday night at Babylon nightclub in Medellin I had the most fantastic time! I danced and danced! The bar was open (free drinks) but I didn´t have time. If only I could have caught up with that other tourist the next day.... but he disappeared on me :(
   Medellin is also known for its sculptures, by an artist whose name I keep forgetting.

Terrorists bombed one of the sculptures. The artist rebuilt it, but insisted that the original remain as a reminder to what war achieves (in this case the loss of 33 lives of people in the plaza).

Myself and 5 hostel mates rode the cable car to the top of the city to see the view ...... nice huh?

We went to Guatape, and before climbing up the rock, I ate..... that´s nice fatty pork skin at the side. Yummo!

You see the stairs in the side of the rock I got to climb?! No wonder I ate food to feed a lumberjack first.

Clare and I at the top. Yeah!
It was worth it!

Really worth it!

Oh, and going up I liked the bromeliads growing on the rock and the sight they created.

Notes
