Manizales, Colombia 🇨🇴 

I wake up in a bit of a tiz, I want to sort out flying from Manizales back to Medellin, using the credit I received from the delayed flight the other night. To do this, the wonderful receptionist kindly calls the airline but the link for me to pay fails. The best thing is then to go to the local airport that is next to the bus terminal in town. I rush off in a Taxi and after a bit of faffing with the lady, manage to buy my flight. At this point I have managed to miss my bus by 15mins, but a guy is advertising a local minibus so I climb on that 30mins later. Around an hour in the bus breaks down, so despite attempts to fix it we have to wait and climb onto the next scheduled. My buses are going down in comfort rating, and it is a bum numbing 6 hours to Manizales.

I arrive early evening and it is a first for me to get a cable car over the town to the centre. I have booked a hostel next to the cable car so after a few steps I am in my room that has a great view of the city spread out below. I pop out for a quick local dinner and then curl up with my book for a quiet evening.
