Is a little cobbled quaint place 4 hours north of Bogota. Supposedly a relaxed dreamy place with nothing doing kind of atmosphere with a big plaza with steps outside the church where one can admire the sheer cobbledness of it all.
Except for the weekend I arrived, there was an international film festival going on with cameras and green screens set up in the plaza and people posing about, and I thought it was some random casting, but it was just being being filmed in a very wobbly mannor in front of a green screen. The next day was a kite flying festival which went on all day, with people showing off their nice colourful kites, I enjoyed this for a while whilst eating what might have been a nice dish in another country. That evening more hulabaloo with dancing and some band in the plaza, it all happens here it seems, or at least for this weekend. I was trying to get away from hustle and bustle, I must have walked around the town 10 times and then got bored.
The next day I got the bus to San Gil, what is reported to be an adventure hotspot, the journey was typical ´minibus style stuff as many people and more into´ and that was OK, up until the little boy travelling with his Grandmother next to me was silently sick and then sick a bit more into a bag. A while later I thought to pick my day bag up from the floor and of course it had been absorbing the little fellows chunder. Luckily it didnt smell much, but I will have to give it a sponge bath none the less.
Ps; There are a number of symbols on these Spanish keyboards that I have no idea who to access, some I need to Google like the @ (I just pasted that from Google) so please forgive all the bad spelling and lack of punctuation marks.
