You have re-ignited my desire to head back... Thanks
Glad I could muster up some nice memories for you
HKGorBust!Hope you manage to get a return trip planned soon!

Had my sensible head on and all was fine!

Some people may worry about safety -- I never felt unsafe there at all, despite taking the bus everywhere and running into the occasional dodgy neighborhood.
Thanks
krazykanuck - nice to hear that you have enjoyed some time in Bogota too!
