Good bye Colombia, Hallo Bolivia

My two month in Colombia are over; I am now in Bolivia again. I had a mix up with my flight back, which means I am going to be staying here a couple of weeks more than I originally planned; To cut a long story short, I wanted to check if I can extend my stay longer in South America, but after giving it some though I decided not to change my flight back, only to find out that my flight back was changed anyway, to the 25th of April. I don't who its fault was the airline or the travel agency, it doesn't really matter, there was a misunderstanding somewhere and I am stuck here for a while. I did managed to bring it forward to the 15th of April, but I will have to spend two nights in Madrid.

Anyway I did not spend my time in Colombia just slacking, I took the time to write a (long) short story, and I am publishing it in a separate blog : www.travelficion.blogspot.com .

Colombia and Bolivia are both Latin America countries, but yet they feel quite different. I would say Bolivia is more traditional, in Bolivia you will hear a lot of folklore music. In Colombia you will hear a lot of Reggie tone and electronic music (They still play a lot of Salsa, Merengue and Vallenato). On Saturday I went to a Jazz festival here in Cochabamba, and one band played a blend of traditional Andean music and Jazz!! Surprisingly the combination worked quite well. On Friday I went to a Peña, a place were they play live traditional music and serve traditional dishes (usually involving a lot of meat)

Since I have some time left before going home, I plan to go to Salta in Argentina for a week or two, I missed Salta during my previous trip in Argentina, and now I have the chance to make it up.
