...I have been to colombia about 6 times, and i wish more people would visit this country, the country is immediety associated with kidnapping and drugs, but why does the news never meantion the beauty that is in this country? the mountains, the fauna, the people...
There are many things to do and see in colombia from Bogota , which is a typical city - i recomend visits to the gold museam, simon bolivas house and monstarate (wheather you hike up - i did it and i did not have any problems, but best to go with people who know the way or on sundays when many people go up, or take the lift) to travelling to the cost of Cartengena and Santa Marta which have beautiful views and lovely climate, trips to san Agustin are always worthwhile to learn about pre-colombian history.
The food is wonderful and cheap , and you get complete meals started...

Cost: 49 pounds per room - this includes continental breakfast.
This is everything you need if you are only after a nice basic room, somewhere to shower, and breakfast. You would be pushed to spend a whole day entertaining yourself in this hotel as there are only really rooms and a T.V. lounge. No outdoor play or anything.
Need to be out of room by 12 noon.

There don't seem to be many good reviews about Land of leather floating around here, so to balance things out a tiny bit, here's my experience of buying my sofa.
Just after Christmas we had already decided we were going to treat ourselves with a bit... more
