Platypus Hostel, Bogota

we had a great time at platypus hostel.
its located near downtown bogota in the old la candelaria district.

the hostel is clean and there is really really good free coffee.
run by german (whos not actually a german but colombian) - there are about 3 or 4 hostels on the street.
every evening at 5pm, hermann dons his best window licker grin and hands out a free beer !!

we spent a few hours sitting in the courtyard drinking beers and getting to know other tourists.
its where we met ;
> stuey from australia (who is a freaken classic laugh for a sydney boy)
> andy and chris from atlanta (andy introduced us to beer, rum and grenadine)

> john from edinburgh (who had
asymtomatic and atypical pneumonia - hopefully he will be over it by the time we all meet in bolivia)
> james from australia (who really needs to go up the coast to taganga - if he remembers the name of it)

> ... and john from gizzy to name just a few.
