December, 10th. The official at
the border was nice enough to place the stamp above the Ecuadorian one (of
course I had to use my charming smile).
Im running out of pages in my passport so if I wanna make it all the way to
Mexico, have to be extra careful, plus Colombia already used a whole page for
the visa). I reckon that if I manage to fit 6 stamps on every page, I will be
alright.
Ipiales is the town at the border
with Ecuador where no one stays more than a night. They have one thing though
that is worth the stay - El Santuario Las Lojas, a church, build in the rocks.
An image of Jesus or the virgin appeared there one day and for that reason it
was built at such an unusual place. Met a guy from Holland and together we went
looking for a place to stay. Found an ok hotel room for 30 000 Pesos for both
(18 US$) and next day headed together to the bus station to take buses to
Popayan and Ecuador respectively.
Tried my first arepa (corn cakes) here, the most typical Colombian food.
