Barranquilla once again just overnight to pick the morning flight to Medellín. This time I bought the ticket at the bus station. 2 differences from the other time:
1. it cost less (10000 pesos).
2. It had air conditioning.
Looking closely at the map I found out that the bus terminal is quite close to the airport, so a taxi would be better the other day.
A nice taxi ride to the hostel takes about 45 minutes (15000COP). The hostel is The Meeting Point, a big house turned into hostel. It's very cozy, very big and there's a nice patio on the back. The owner is an Italian from Milan, very friendly and helpful.
This time I got to see another Barranquilla, the upper scale one, with nice houses and apartment buildings. Also I found out that the Rickshaws are not allowed in Barranquilla. They're only available around Soledad which is the city where the airport and the bus terminal are, and Colombians call them motocarros.
