Getting to our hotel in Bogotá did not go without a hitch. It was not as bad as the plane fiasco bringing us to Colombia from the United States, still, it was annoying. The hotel told us and we verified via emails that there would be a hotel driver picking us up at the airport. We went to the designated waiting and waited and waited and waited for more than an hour. We called the hotel but the phone was never answered. Finally, we took a taxi. I didn't mind waiting outside since the air was cooler, frigid by Amazonia standards, delightful by mine. It was the lack of promised service that was annoying and that they never answered the phone when I called multiple times. But that is the nature of international travel. At least, we were able to arrange alternate travel to reach the hotel. It was a pleasant, if sterile, accommodation.
