Villa de Leyva

Day 185 -  Can’t get enough of white wash and cobbled stones.

This morning we took our time getting up as the views and tranquillity offered at Colombian Highlands hostel were just perfect for reading our books with a coffee.  We finally headed into town around 11.30 and dropped our backpacks in the office there, before taking a wander around the white washed buildings and cobbled streets and people watched as the locals went about their Friday business.  We had a really nice lunch just off the square and then took a couple of buses to San Gil.

Banana chippies – part of a rounded Colombian diet.  Also perfect with beers!

In San Gil we met up with Hanneke and Maaike again and ordered in pizza, and sat around the hostel with a few beers deciding which of the hundreds of activities on offer in this town we would be partaking in.
