That was the last of our coast experience, we´d met some folk from
bogota and had decided we wanted to get down there for the weekend. We
stopped off in Villa de Leyva, a beautiful colonial town in the andes a
few hours north of bogota (sudden shock at how cold it was away from the
coast), spent a couple of days chilling, playing guitars in the square,
exploring the beautiful countryside, waterfalls (bizarrely I started
recognizing loads of the grasses and plants, which meant yummy healing
red clover herbal teas), think the conquistadores must have brought lots
of European pasture plants to plant up the fields for farming. Also
visited a bizarre historic archaeological fertility site which had loads
of massive 5meter tall stone penises (just to explain the photos).
