Medellin Living

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
