My last night there I met three Dutch girls who were planning to go to Medellin the next day, that was where I was planning to go so we agreed to go together. We also sat watching some films, drinking some beers and chatting. We tried to go out but the club we were told to go to was closed, we ended up back at the hostel, watched some films then went to bed. During the next day, we all headed off on a walk and were met by one of the Dutch girls friends, some English guy who was pretty cool, had been living in the rich part of Bogota with some family for a while and could speak quite good Spanish, he recommended some places to go and some not to go. We all went to the national museum up just past the museum of modern art. It was free to get in which was a plus and it was rather large, had three floors with lots of different rooms, it was pretty much about Colombian history and the higher you got, the closer you got to present day. It was quite informative, I got to see some things about Colombian history that I never knew before, and got to see some more shitty Botero paintings. The building itself was an old prison and was a great design of a building, it was a large cross, presumably different wings when it was a prison, but none the less it looked good.
