Bogota - A snapshot

One thing I did not know is that Bogota is cold. Really, really cold. And rainy. Its also a really old city, with so many small lanes and tiny shops which suddenly open out to wide roads and multi-storied office buildings. Its a really nice city, but being fans of small towns ourselves and having heard great things about Colombia's countryside, our time at the bustling capital was limited to two days. 

Here is a quick snapshot of our stay in Bogota, Colombia.

A common area just outside our hostel dorm:

Santa and the mechanized raindeer a peaceful protest:

Graffiti and street art abound in Bogota:

Small alleyways abound:

A pretty street corner building, this is a hotel:

This super narrow path actually has a street name and leads to our hostel, the pink building at the end:

The plaze de bolivar at night

Plenty of soy protein options to choose from in the local supermarket

Confections displayed at a shop window, they looked so indian:
