Who would have thought - living in Bogotá

Everything has been a little weird lately. We came to Cundinamarca (the region where Bogotá is located) to find a place to rent for a month or so. We did not hav much luck in Zipaquirá, so a oportunity of living in Bogotá presented, and that seemed like the best idea at the moment.

So we have now been living here in Bogotá for around 2 weeks, and I have been enjoying having a fixed place to stay and lots of great cooking. The kitchen was very disgrusting though, so we had a crazy cleaning session:

We needed serious help from "BANG", and I can confirm that it is VERY efficient, just do not want to know what it contains really

I really enjoyed having a kitchen, so there has been a lot of cooking going on, and the result has been delicious :D

plátano burger with lental beef and fries. Yum

A couple of days ago I went to the gold museum here in Bogotá. There were some very beautiful gold objects, and I enjoyed  having a look around:

sacred plant, yagé, that is used in traditional spiritual rituals

I am not a big fan of this city to be honest, it is big, chaotic and very polluted, but I  must admit that there are a couple of nice places in the center. There are some very cool wall paintings that I got a chance to take some pictures of:

Zipaquirá was very beautiful, but sadly we had no luck finding a place to stay, so now we are making the best of it in Bogotá :D
