This morning, I boarded a flight at 10:30AM from FLL to Bogota, arriving in Bogota at approximately 1PM local time. I checked into the hotel at around 2PM and went on a walk toward Parque 93. I stopped at a sandwich shop along the way and ordered a vegetarian sandwich with avocado. The sandwich tasted great but was very unhealthy and saturated in butter.
I then continued walking to Parque 93 and stopping for a tea at Starbucks and a Spanish bookstore near Parque 93. I then walked back to the hotel and decided to go on a popular hike in Bogota: Quebrada La Vieja. I ubered to the outskirts of Bogota and was disappointed to find that the hike was completely closed off and inaccessible due to overuse. I then continued walking in the area, trying to find an opening where I could access the conservation area and meet up with the trail. I was able to find a rough trail, but decided not to go on a serious hike as it was already 6PM and getting dark. Instead, I continued walking through the immediate area toward the hotel. The immediate area was a very luxurious, upscale part of Bogota with plenty of new construction, security buildings.
On the way back to the hotel, I visited the Calle 82 shopping area, picked up a salad from a restaurant next door to the hotel, and then settled in for a relaxing night. As of now, I’m waiting for Gabby to arrive in Bogota and meet me at the hotel.
