Day 279: To Medellín

In line with my continuing efforts to avoid nighttime travel, I spent much of the day getting from Salento to Medellín. The six-hour bus trip was really nice: gorgeous landscape outside the window, and an excellent book on my Kindle (currently Terry Pratchett's newest book The Long Earth) - what more could I want?

My first impression of Medellín was very favorable. Beautiful warm weather, a modern metro, and a big supermarket close to the hostel. I'm curious to see how the rest of the city holds up to its still tainted reputation ;-)
