Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴 

I have been up all night with a sickness bug. I am really annoyed as today is the day Lesley arrives. I wander down to reception and sit chatting to a Scottish guy as I wait. I miss spotting the car so the first I see of Lesley is her running in looking for cash to pay her taxi. It is great to see her, and typical Lesley is just excited for a new adventure.

We walk over to the centre of El Poblado to have lunch and for me to pick up a bag I purposely left at my previous hostel when I left for Manizales. I feel bad that I am so lethargic, but we keep it as a leisurely day, my poorly stomach and Lesley’s jet lag provides a good excuse for a few naps in the afternoon. We try a local Italian for dinner, just a simple pasta for me but Lesley enjoys a beer from the Bogota Beer Company.
