We have found out that we have become spoiled during our stay at Hotel Stein in Cali. This morning we went to breakfast and ordered scrambled eggs with cheese and tomatoes, and the waiter just looked at us like we were idiots, and said "Do you have cheese? Do you have the tomatoes?" It turned out that the hotel Halifax does not offer its guests any kind of meat, cheese, or vegetables for breakfast. They provide access to a big refrigerator in the kitchen, and the guests are welcome to fill it with whatever they want to have for breakfast the next day, if they go out and buy it themselves. Among all the hotels that we have stayed in, this is the first with such an arrangement. We wish they would have told us on our first day! Other than that, the hotel is fine, and we do prefer it to the one we stayed at on the way to Cali.
On the first day with cool weather, mami got a tan and daddy got really sunburnt on his neck and forehead. It wasn't really sunny, and it was cool, so we did not notice the sun, but of course, both Bogotá and Zipaquirá lie 2 640 m above sea level, and without protection we got burned even without direct sunlight and even after three weeks in Cali's heat.Jakob was wearing a cap and long sleeves all day (doctor's orders: no sun!), so he is fine. He probably can't get sunburned anyway, due to his dark skin.
Jakob is now back with Paola. Today our two families rented a van together and went on an excursion together to a big park called Parque Jaime Duque, and to the old city of Zipaquirá and the Cathedral of salt there (Catedral de Sal Zipaquirá). From the outset, Paola (5) and Jakob (3) were holding hands, and they also kissed each other on the cheek several times. (Let's hope Marie in Cali is not reading this!)
