Bogota, Day 1

The Delta flight reached Bogota very early in the morning.  It was pitch dark outside.  We took a taxi to Casa Platypus in the La Candeleria district of Bogota.  At that hour of the night, the only people walking around in Bogota's old town were the homeless or drunkards.  A man standing at the edge of the side walk exposed himself and urinated on the street; the taxi swerved to a side to avoid the projectile.  We reached hotel around 5 am.  It was way too early before the earliest check-in time, but the hotel staff was kind enough to let us take our rooms.
