Back to Bogota

Our time in Colombia is coming to an end. Right now we're on a bus heading for Bogota and thereby crossing mountains as high as 3500 meters. Not only the views you get on those rides are breathtaking...but so are the driver's ambitions to overtake every slower vehicle on the road - regardless of the limited view or the traffic.
The last week we've travelled a lot, encountered totally different climates and landscapes and visited different cities in Colombia such as Medellin, Cali, Armenia and Perreira. In the last couple of days we also enjoyed the most different accomodation experiences such as being the only guests in a big recreational village in the middle of nowhere, sharing beds with cats or staying in an old "art deco" hotel that still preserved his charme from the 50ies and would have made the perfect background for Shining 2.
All the shows in Colombia were kind of a last second thing so we are really greatful for all the help we recieved from everyone involved! Thanks to David from "Desnudos en Coma" for adding us to the Cucumbo Festival in Cali and making his home our home. And another huge thanks to Jorge from Armenia for organizing the shows in Perreira and Armenia and for looking after us during the last couple of days. We hope we can hang out and share more beers and rum very soon!
So...before getting all sentimental about leaving Colombia...we'll play another show in Bogota tonight and we are really excited about it! And altough we would have loved to spend more time in Colombia we're really looking forward to Brasil!
