I ventured off with my travel partner Laura to the town of Guatape. Cool little lake town, kinda felt like Atilan in Guate. Really colorful houses that represent the trade of the person that works there (ex. one mgihtt have keys would be a locksmith, or corn a farmer, etc). We threw our stuff down and made the trek to Penol, a massavie slab or ??? to climb the 659 steps to the top for a worthwhile view. Actually, there were 740 steps because once you get to the top, there ar ethree more little gift shops that are crammed into a lighthouse strcuture and you can just continue to work your way up.
The next day we hiked to some waterfalls with a couple from London who were taking a break from the typical travel the world in a year thing. They brought the two hostal dogs along who knew exactly how to get us up to the waterfall. Sweet.
I met a girl who has been living in this hostal and working there for 4 months. She kayaks in the early AM, jumps in the lake for a dip, and then after doing 3 hours of tidying up around the hostal, goes for long bike rides and hikes by waterfalls. This sounds like the life to me...
