Popayan, Colombia

I am writing to you from Popayan, Colombia a quaint Spanish Colonial town in the south of Colombia. It was a little crazy getting here because the bus was soooo cold, I mean we literally did not sleep because we were to cold to fall asleep/ couldn´t stop shivering until Linnea convinced the bus driver to let her get her sleeping bag from under the bus during our 6am stop- but then we slept like babies so that was wonderful. We are legitimately taking our sleeping bags on the next bus ride!!! We got in around 10:00 this morning and we now have a lovely hostel room complete with toilet that you can´t flush tp down :) We are headed off to see all the sites available in the town today haha- which consists of a few museums, some churchs, and 2 old bridges. The town is very cute but we can definitely see it in one day so that´s lovely. Tomorrow morning at 6 am we are off to St. Augustine which are some ruins pretty close to here and we will be taking a bus to Ipiales at 9:30 pm. That is the town next to the Ecaudorian border, we will arrive there at 5:30 am and then take a taxi over the boarder because then we can avoid additions from the bus company to the border tax- don´t worry its legal!
