Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴 

Today is a bit overcast and I am wary of the sky looking like a thunderstorm is coming. We keep to our plans and walk down to the metro to take the line to the cable car that will take us up to Parque Arvì. 

The travel is a big part of this adventure as we love taking the metrocable up high above the city. The cable goes up the side of the mountain and then continues along over the Parque for a fair bit. We arrive at the Parque and the heavens open. I mean biblical volumes of rain, gushing down as we seek shelter under a market tent. It doesn’t last long and we stroll out trying to find a short hiking trail. We manage to find a good coffee and bumped into Shivani of all people. We couldn’t find trails that looked open and passable, so we turned round and climbed back up the hill. We called it a day and headed back on the cable, shame we couldn’t see more as the Parque looked interesting.

We spent the rest of the day faffing, Lesley trying to pack hammocks into her bag and me speed reading her guide book. This evening we went out to a nice restaurant that had been recommended. We sat people watching at the bar whilst enjoying a few cocktails followed by fabulous fish and slow cooked pork. A memorable meal for Lesley’s last night.
