All the culture you want and dream of.
I must be honest it was a relief to be in the shiny new bit of Bogota and not be watching my possessions so hysterically, there’s no doubt that although much improved there’s a tense edgy feel in town even with a lot of police with guns evident in some parts.
Call me paranoid, but such is the power of this mans legend, I’m not publishing this until I’ve left Colombia, Pablo did bring down a passenger jet too and I don’t want to jinx my flight!
OR. I’LL SAVE MY VITRIOL, CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND HISSY FITS TIL LATER WHEN IT’S ALL NORMAL AGAIN.
ALERT: This is a very late post but because of being on the road due to having a new kitchen fitted and my house being unfit to live in. I stayed in Richmond first hence going to Hampton Court the following day all was closed in the vicinity so no Ham House etc. Then the hotels all closed so I was kicked out of Z Hotel and finally returned home to chaos and builders dust and god knows what other filth. So from the lockdown I have been piecing my house back together and unpacking and sterilising all my shit and giving it all new order. In other words I’ve been too fucking busy and freaked out to write. Each surface I clean and old things that turn up make me feel, much like the lock in this will pass organically and all will be well. Semi normality has returned so now this old bird will sing again.
Or infinity pools in heaven.
Alert: this was posted ages ago but now fits in sequentially and bears a second look at. I am updating it as I was in a rush before and this place would go on my top 10 list of places to go in the world!
Or old birds must travel there!
Such highs and lows, much like the mountains to the plains. God I have loved this adventure.
Or I loved it but it’s harsh….. oh, and Belize the same.
ALERT: I’M SHOWING YOU THE PRETTY PICTURES SO I DON’T PUT YOU OFF COMING HERE WITH WHAT I SAY! A LOT OF GUATEMALA HASN’T BEEN POSTED YET AND THIS IS ONLY GETTING DONE AS I’VE BUGGERED MY FOOT HERE IN MEXICO SO AM HAVING TIME OUT AND REST AT THE POSH MARRIOT IN VILLAHERMOSA.
You know that you’ve reached the end of the line when you start taking pictures of your bedroom floor tiles (however pretty) and that it’s time to leave!
