We flew to Cartagena in Colombia via Bogota yesterday. We were hit by the evening humidity stepping off the plane and today it got up to 35°C which felt like 41°C, apparently. We were sweaty messes most of the day.
Did some laundry which cost NZ$18.90. Fairly expensive compared to our NZ$6.30 bill on Quito. Things are a bit more touristy and expensive here with a thousand grifts going on as you walk down the street.
We had lunch at an Italian restaurant in the Getsemani district followed by a walking tour which was, as usual, a great way to get some perspective on a new city.
