Popayan

I don't want to be unkind to this city in the south of Colombia, however it is safe to say that since 1983 (when the earthquake struck) nothing else has happened.

Here is a church (with another church far in the background) and some white walls

Another church (this time yellow) with more white walls

And finally...another church with more white walls, and yes, some police watching over a woman standing in front of the church.......you know, something might happen!!

We went out on Saturday night at 8pm and most restaurants were closed.
Now, what town has restaurants closed on Saturday night?
No need to say that everything else was shut too.
By 9.15 pm our Saturday night fever in Popayan was over, after negotiating at the Vina restaurant a boiling asparagus soup........

The best news in our Popayan "non adventure" was the Hotel: we booked a gorgeous room at the Camino Real Hotel right in the town centre for a phenomenal £19 a night. That is a steal, considering that normally you would pay 3 times as much.......we just took full advantage of their special internet weekend tarif.
If you ever come this way and you really want to visit the White city, I suggest you do the same.
