This is my first video shot in Colombia. I shot the 1,5 minutes video in Monserrate mountain and in Museo del Oro (Gold Museum) in Bogota 5th October 2011.
Colombian internet connections seem good, so there will be more of videos unless my video camera will be stolen.
I drank Coka tea (Coca leaf infusion) at the Monserrate mountain. It should help overcome altitude sickness. The tea tasted good. Coca tea is legal at least in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.
I had a cold in Bogota. My dorm room was cold (cleaning ladys and dorm neighbours left door open to the inner yard), so I had to sleep with my clothes on.
Otherwise Cranky Croc Hostel was good, it had big lockers with elecricity sockets, wifi with 2 megabits, plenty of toilets and showers.
