Puerto Iguazu, Argentina, South America My flight to Asuncion went exactly as expected, and I had a three hour layover until my flight to Ciudad Del Este. I had a couple of movies on my tablet, so that helped pass the time. I got into Ciudad Del Este at about 11am, and then had to try and find my way to Argentina. I had read that there were busses from the airport into the center of Ciudad Del Este, but…
Asuncion, Paraguay, South America Today was my last day in Colombia, and I’m really sad to be leaving. I love that country, and I would stay a lot longer if I could. Melissa and I had breakfast at Hotel Egina, and then she had to head off to work. I chilled at the hotel until about 11:45am, and then got a taxi over to Melissa’s office. I had my bags with me, so I went up into Melissa’s office for…
Bogota, Colombia, South America Melissa and I had a really relaxed morning at the hotel. We slept late. Had a really good breakfast. And thought about playing tennis, but couldn’t really be bothered. This is our last full day together, since I leave tomorrow, and she has to work in the morning. We brought the car to get cleaned around noon, and Luz Mery gave us a ride back down there to pick up the car when it was finished….
Bogota, Colombia, South America Today was Vanessa’s last day, so we got to spend a little time with the family, which was really nice. The girls had quite a late night, so I went over to the house around 11am, when they had finally gotten up and ready for the day. Melissa, Vanessa and I headed over to the Airforce Club for lunch, and met their half brother Juan Pablo their. His wife’s family had been in the airforce, so…
Bogota, Colombia, South America I had a nice relaxing morning after walking Melissa back to her house at 6:30am. It’s only a ten minute walk and I was hoping to come back and fall asleep, but that just didn’t happen. I had a great breakfast here that included an omelette, breads, fruits, juices, and hot chocolate. Well worth the extra $5 to stay here instead of that crappy hostel that just gave me a croissant and a half a smile….
Bogota, Colombia, South America I checked out of my hostel at 11am today, and got a taxi over to my new (and really nice) hotel. The people at Hotel Egina remembered me from when I stayed here on Christmas, and they were able to get me into my room by 11:15am. This was a very nice surprise because I wasn’t supposed to check in until 3pm. I left the hotel at noon and got a taxi to Melissa’s office and…
Bogota, Colombia, South America I had to get up early this morning to make sure I was at the US Embassy in time for my 8am appointment. I got a taxi at 7am in case there was a lot of traffic, and I got there for about 7:30am. It worked out well though because I had time to grab a quick bite to eat before heading in. I was the second person to go into the embassy, and they were…
Bogota, Colombia, South America I got up early this morning and got a taxi over to Melissa’s house, even though she was working. I was at their house by 7:15am, and we headed off to the tennis court. Vanessa, Luz Mery and I picked up German on the way to the courts, and the four of us played doubles for two hours. It was really good. I was Luz Mery’s partner, and we won the first few sets we played,…
Bogota, Colombia, South America I got up this morning at my hostel, got my tennis gear on, and made a quick phone call to Copa Airlines. I felt like the 14th is still too soon for me to head to Paraguay, so I changed my ticket again so I can leave on the 19th now. This means that I’ll have time to go to the US Embassy and get my new passport issued, and I will also be here to…
Bogota, Colombia, South America I have to say, I was very impressed this morning that Melissa and I woke up and had plenty of time to get ready to go play tennis at 11am. After going to bed at 5am, I didn’t think we were going to make it. We got a taxi back to her house, grabbed the tennis gear, and took the car over to the courts. Surprisingly, Luz Mery and Vanessa showed up about ten minutes after…
