Did you go to Club Colombia yet ? we went there for lunch again on our last day in Bogota.
Get the burger also if you can stuff it down. It's worth itBut definitely don't pass up the $60 steak
Crazy thing is yesterday Nathalie,myself and her dad were walking around downtown Lima and we went to this local restaurant which looked like a dive and had the most ridiculously awesome 2 course lunch which was flat out off the hook peruvian food and the total bill cost me $14 U.S for all of us.
Right now going across the street from our hotel for the best Ceviche in Lima at Punta Azul. I book this hotel each time specifically because it's across the street from the restaurant and you need to get there at 11 or else you will be waiting 2 hours on line to get in and I don't wait in lines for anything which is probably why I'm a St Johns fan because there is never enough fans for lines.
How much longer you in Bogota ?
And try the club colombia beer brand and if you can try stopping ny a bogota beer company bar afterwards. They let us do a tasting of their beers. Pretty good stuff but I liked the club colombia beer the best. ( I don't think it's related to the restaurant )
You guys are unbelievable. Not 12 hours ago you were worried about being wiped off the face of the earth, and now you are ready to do it to yourself paragliding, and at the same time contemplating your next good meal. Hats off to you - you know how to live, or something like that.
After what just happened today Tsunami's don't even scare me anymore.
We drove to the south to Pucusana about an hour from Lima to this little beach cove fisherman town where Nathalie's brother works at a hotel.
Knowing we love to do off the wall things he hires this tiny fishing boat and I mean tiny to take us around the harbor and inlet to see all the different houses built on the hills.
This fisherman then decides he's going to take us out of the inlet to show us the cliffs that are right up against the pacific ocean.
We go out into the pacific and are a mile or 2 down the coast ( maybe more ) and the weather changes and the swells are huge. ( This freaking fishing boat has an engine the size of a lawnmower and it's like 80 years old. I am literally absolutely convinced I'm about to die because I thought we were going to capsize. The fisherman turns the boat around trying to get us the hell out of there but we are barely moving.
It was so bad I must have prayed to god 15 minutes straight to get us back. ( also to mention there weren't any freaking life preserves on the boat ) and if we capsize there isn't even beach to swim to because it's all solid cliff and if we get close to the cliffs the waves are smashing into them and that's certain death too. ( Oh and did I mention we saw seals which means you know sharks are nearby )
It took us close to an hour to make it back while praying that the engine doesn't conk out or capsize.
I have never been so happy to touch land in my life. I'll have to put a picture up of this boat. I used 7 of my 9 lives today

Here is a quick video of the boat ride from hell on the coast of peru last week when apparently there was a 2nd tsunami warning from aftershocks which we didn't know about. Nathalie took this video about an hour after all hell broke loose on the water and this video is after we had turned around and were almost back to the harbor in better water which still wasn't good for the size of that boat and crappy engine
Watch the video in full screen for better viewing and look at 1. the boat we were riding in and picture that boat getting tossed in swells that when we went down the wave before the next wave you couldn't see anything other than water around you. lol 2. The engine in the last frame of the video at the end and also look in the background and you will see the cliffs that were along the whole mess of a ride down the coast. It's too bad we didn't video the part with the huge swells. Also listen to the sound of the engine. My lawnmower has more horsepower
And if you notice how I'm literally not moving in the video it's because I was so literally stunned from what we just went through while Nathalie's brother is smiling the whole time and am pretty sure he has some sort of death wish

All I can say is: Wow! I was wondering if that clicking sound was the engine. I would have never made it throughout that trip. Glad you made it safe and sound.
We were trying to decide what music to add to it. The final 2 were Billy Joel Downeaster Alexa or the Theme Song from Gilligans Island
