We had quite a relaxing morning, I packed my bags with all my nice clean clothes, and then we headed into Medellin in one of the local mini buses. We dropped my bags at Hector’s mum’s house and then took the metro to the start of the cable car in San Javier. We took the cable car up to La Aurora and then back down again.
It was so interesting and you could really see the difference between the poorer and richer areas of Medellin, and also how the city is spreading out into the hills. We stopped for a drink outside the modern art museum and in the early evening we wandered through the Ciudad de Rio park and looked at all the street stalls. I tried my first Michelada – lime juice, beer, salt around the top of the glass and fruit (Mango) inside that you eat. It was really nice.
The moon was really bright too – the lunar eclipse was earlier in the morning and you couldn’t see it in Medellin as it was already below the horizon when the eclipse happened.
