Bogota, Colombia

Hi all,
Sitting in Bogota, Colombia above one of the busiest intersections in the world!(well it feels like it) No sound proofing, pollution. Bogota is a big challenge becaus eit is 2,600 meters above sea level, so everyone suffers from altitude to soem extent. Craig is breathless, we all woke up groggy, etc. Bloody hard work but we have had some bloody great fun days too, so no matter.
It feels safe in Bogota and medellin, but we have not been wandering around the place. Walked for a quick espresso this morning, around the corner from our hotel and a guy with a massive gun was standing guarding the casino. Guys with guns on many corners on our drive in from airport. Traffic much as in China, 3 lanes equals 5etc.
Definately a developing country profile.
We went for dinner in the T-Zone last night which is all zoned as secure.
