Because the flight to Medellin was cheaper than the bus I took the airplane.

Medellin |
Juan from the Australien outback picked me up and I could stay by his house for a couple of days. He showed me Colombia and Medellin from his point of view. Which gave me a different and really nice view about it! He and his Family were unbelievable friendly, I got his room, they helped me by my laundry, showed me the city, we went out together for food and drinks ;) Thank you very much for all!! Muchas Gracias!!!
The Colombians have a special relationship to food, they always eat or offer food ;) This is a sample of the food I tried:
 |
Typical Colombian meal: bandeja paisa |
 |
Typical sweet |
 |
It is really sweet after a bit it is enough |
 |
Arepa |
 |
Strong coffee at the Colombian Starbucks |
Medellin has a great party area called, Parque lleras.
 |
Interesting beer ;) |
 |
Juan, his Cousin, his sister and some friends |
 |
aguardiente typical drink |
 |
Party bus :D |
Juan and I went to Guatape, which is famous for a big stone (el peñol) and Pablo Escobar. It was a really nice trip we met to Colombian girls, which also visited Medellin. In the tour breakfast, lunch, boat tour, transfer and an annoying guide were included ;) Lucky I couldn't understand her, but Juan was laughing his ass off and you had to see her expression...
