The Long Road For Time



Thanks to not being thrilled with my new job, and not willing to sign a contract, I got to renew my visa…again.  This time, however, I had to leave the country to do it.  Being such an epic adventure for a whole four hours in another country, I though I would break it down for you poco a poco.

I just got back from the adventure, so make sure you stayed tuned for the next few days to get all the details.

Here are the essential facts:

Where:

Medellin & Cucucta, Colombia; San Antonio, Venezuela

Costs:

  • 160,000 COP-bus, round trip, Medellin-Cucuta
  • About 10,000 COP-for buses from Cucuta-San Antonio
  • 55,000 VBF-for stamp to leave Venezuela
  • 40,000 VBF- for lunch (Menu del Dia)

Time:

  • 13 hours- Medellin to Cucuta
  • 30 minutes- Cucuta to San Antonio (Each Way)
  • 2-3 hours- Finding someone who knows where all the places I needed are and walking there.
  • 17 hours- Cucuta to Medellin (I have no idea why such a big difference.)

Needed Items:

  • Blanket
  • Warm Clothes
  • Short-Sleeve Shirt
  • Cash
  • Passport :)

    Howdy. I’m sorry to bother you but I happened to run across your site and noticed you’re using the exact same template as me. The only problem is on my website, I’m unable to get the design and style looking like yours. Would you mind emailing me at: Klement628@gmail.com so I can get this figured out. By the way I’ve bookmarked your web page: http://medellinliving.com/travel-blog/the-long-road-for-time/ and will be visiting frequently. Thankyou!
