Bogota Day 1: The gorgeous view from Monserrate

May 18 (1)

Our first day in Bogota, Colombia was very very exciting!! We started our day off with a delicious breakfast. There were sooooo many delicious baked treats to choose from!

After that, we went to a place called Monserrate, a really tall mountain in the center of Bogota City. We used a train of sorts to go up to the tipity top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain had a beautiful view of all the mountains that surround Bogota city.

But the real attraction was the breathtaking view of Bogota city. It was beyond gorgeous.

My boyfriend and I were both in awe at just how beautiful it was up there. Seeing the entire city of Bogota from so high up was just surreal. Definitely one of the best parts of my entire trip.

We spent the rest of the day doing miscellaneous things such as walking around town eating THE most delicious popsicles EVER:

Oh, and taking pictures with Llamas... same ole, same ole.

At night we had "dinner" (actually just a bunch of baked desserts!) at a fabulously decorated french coffee shop. The food and decor were just exquisite.

Today was just a marvelous day. I got to see so many things in such a little amount of time. I wish I could spend all day on the top of Monserrate looking down on Bogota city.
