After another night bus we safely got to the city of
Medellin. Known for its amazing nightlife...which we were unfortunately not
going to get to experience... we got ready for the day’s jampacked itinerary of sightseeing !
Considering we got going around 9am (having put our bags in
storage for the day) we seemed to have whizzed through the list in less than 2
hours! This left us eating lunch at about 11am!
The city does boast an amazing cathedral (we walked in
mid-mass and took in the feel of the place); we also got to see these sculptures
by a very well-known Colombian called Bottero. There’s a whole plaza dedicated
to his work - the sculptures are all fat / blown up versions of humans and
animals – really comical actually!
After realising that the airport would take us 2 buses and
an hour and a half’s journey, we decided to rather be safe than sorry and make
our way there!! Just as well considering airport security second to none! Both
Derek and I were body searched twice, 3 bag searches and a sniffer dog! (I
wasn’t too happy about the dog slobbering all over my bag!)
