Today we had another drive of about 140km ahead of us … this time however mainly on good quality, toll highways – making the journey from Popayán to Cali pass by in a good two hours.

We made it to Cali in the late morning, dumped our stuff in the hotel and were off for a tour around town. It did not take us too long to discover, that – today being a Monday – all the main attractions were closed … so we had to come up with an alternate plan. We finally ended up doing an extensive walk around town, checking out some of the quarters neighboring the center … an antique shop – we ran into by chance – even made a good substitute for a museum. 😉

In the evening we took taxis to San Antonio church to enjoy the views over town. We soon changed location to a nice bar (again with city views) for some drinks and later on also dinner. Dinner was an eclectic mix of bar food and included another offal-tastic surprise: pieces of fried lung were part of the mix. Those pieces did not look much different than the normal pieces of meat – just imagine the unexpected surprise, when expecting meat but ending up with a piece of lung (and its – for my taste – horrible texture) in your mouth …
