Bogotá 2 + Salt Cathedral...

Back to the big city for a few more days - a soggy tour on bicycles, up the funicular for spectacular views, and lots of fab conversation with Liss and Mike from Nottingham and Larissa from Canada.


It has to be said that one of the best aspects of this trip has been the like minded people that we have met along the way and the invigorating conversation that has ensued - thank you all...
Then an overnight visit to the town of Zipaquirá (couple of hours north east) which was built on the wealth of the nearby salt mine. 


The mine is still operational but the main attraction is the underground cathedral (apparently over 3000 people attend Sunday mass) which as you can see is rather beautifully lit. It is odd to say the least to be 200 metres underground in a place of worship...
