Not So HIGHlights…

•Being totally overcharged for not so good champus and lulada in Cali

•The snoring, really stinky Aussies that we had to share a room with in Popayan

Those dolla dolla bills y'all(The Budget)

Despite splurging big time on food and drinks this month, we kicked ass on being under budget thanks to 2 full weeks of free accommodation though volunteering and staying with friends in Bogota. We came in $305 under budget for the 5 weeks that fell during month 2.

Coming Up...

We will spend another couple of days in San Agustin and Mocoa, Colombia before crossing the border into Ecuador.
