Day 117 - Travelling, Colombia


TRAVELLING IN COLOMBIA (28/04/09)



Our next main destination being Ecuador and being both fairly tired of the river we decided to take a plane instead, which as it turned out probably cost about the same in the end. In the small Colombian airport were these large reward posters for members of FARC, the largest and most infamous of Colombia´s Guerilla organisations. Those with crosses through are already captured or killed but the 5 billion Peso (about 1.4m pounds) remains on the rest. Unfortunately we were leaving Colombia or else we might have captured one and extended our trip a bit.


Leticia Airport.



We flew from Leticia to Bogota, Colombia´s capital city. Unfortunately having landed at 4pm we had until 7am to wait for our next flight. We spent an uncomfortable, although not as bad as expected, night on this wooden bench. Oh well, this is what happens when you get bargain flight deals.
