A successful operation

Last night when we had dinner, the hostel staff posted notes informing us that they'd be fumigating all the rooms, starting at 8 am the next morning and that everyone would have to leave and not use their rooms or the kitchen (since the food could then be toxic) until noon. So we set the alarm for 7,30.
At 6 this morning there's a knock on the door.. Sorry, can you wake up please! We will fumigate now, in ten minutos.
We stumble out to find all the other guests in the same confused, newly awake state. The German dude said it best... -well, this seems a successful operation.

So now we're all sitting in the common room, tired, cold and hungry. I don't know when they'll let us back in the rooms again. I was hoping to take a shower today since we'll be on a night bus to Popayan tonight, but that may not happen.

Me and Dylan went for a walk a while ago, to kill time and also look for baby powder since he has a stinking problem going on in his sneakers, only to find that hardly any stores are open at 7 am. This seems odd since they all close at sunset, which is like 6 pm. Bogota is definitely something of a ghost town and even though we had job interviews set up today we have decided to get out of here.

So next stop is Popayan that is a much smaller town next to a national park. We'll probably travel down to Peru after that and October 5th we'll fly to Chile. Should be fun, I'm very excited about Chile.
Now I'm going to take a deep breath and run into our room and try to get my book out of there cause I feel like my internet time is long over due.
