Sigh ... Cali is not going so well.
It is very warm, peaceful, modern and beautiful and the staff in the hostel are very polite and friendly but it seems that the whole of Cali is not really set up for Western Tourists.
The can't organise breakfast unless given a days notice and despite my best efforts and using a translator they are unable to find me a decent map of the city, a tour guide that can take me around the city that speaks English or even tell me where their is a local tour or travel agency that can help me.
If my Colombian friends from London were here I would already be knee deep in great local food and mojito's, would have already been to a museum and discoteque last night and right now we would be on a bus right heading off to Lake Calima to try our hands at kite surfing, scuba diving or some other such fun activity.
As it is, I am pretty much stuck in my hostel and able to only visit the immediate area, risk getting very lost very quickly or my third option which is to write down a list of places I want to visit and take taxi cabs from one to the next the whole day long.
Option C I think is the best option to make the most of my time but it is far from ideal.
Oh well, bring on the suncream and here's to cheap taxi drivers, gotta love um!
