Salento, Day 5

Yesterday I went on a big 5 1/2 hike up a mountain in the Colombian cloud forest. Except for the little tumble that gave me a scraped elbow on a slippery steep bit, it couldn`t get any better - 5 hours in the rainforest!! It`s so gorgeous. I stopped at a little farm called Acaime, had some hot chocolate with cheese and took some pictures of the hummingbirds, then climbed up further to the mirador for a spectacular view of Cocora Valley, then headed back to town. What a good day. And I felt so energized afterward: it had been a while since I`d gone on a big hike.

Today I was gonna get up early to go to Bogotá, but I`ll get a later bus. When you`re travelling you don`t really distinguish one day of the week from another, but today definitely feels like a Sunday: lazy and relaxed, no rush for anything.
