Thanks Dapip got it as a anniversary present. Came out to be $1050 after everything but still a huge steal for 2 weeks in Italy for 2 people.

 

PLease Dont go to a mexican restaurant over there !!!

Milan is very close to Venecia...should go there

 

.. I think he travels the world to see which Country has the best Mexican Restaurants

 

Crazed if you go to Venezia have some Calamari neri. The seafood there is fresh and exquisite...

 

haha I like Italian food. I been to italy multiple times as I have family in Milan and Napoli. The fresh mozzarella and tomato is awesome there.

and in France I had mostly Italian food & Mexican . French food was too pretentious

Asia is too far. Europe is 6-8 hours so you fall asleep on the plane and wake up and you are all set. No jet lag or at least for me. My wife didn't sleep on the plane and took her 2 days to adjust to the change. Korea tho felt spent 2.5 days getting use to the time each way and 2 days flying. Was cool to go to Korea and Japan but 2 weeks isn't enough time. I want to go to Chendu in China you can hug a panda for $50

 

9 nights in Croatia and Slovenia for $1300

I also saw Asian two city trips for under $1000 in tripmasters

 

I will be in Bogota, Medellin, Pereira, and Sahagun(la costa sabanera) in December. The only thing that's guaranteed is that I will eat Mondongo and suero de queso.

Anybody know of any good local places to eat in those places?

 

Mondongo use to Make me cry as a child. My mom with the belt and you could chew forever and nothing

 

Sahagun best place to be fat!!!

My grandma live there

 

In Bogota go to Andres Carne de Res at Hacienda Santa Barbara... Lots of good food and not very expensive.

I usually go for Crepes and Waffles and Hamburguesas El Corral too, but I don't know if that is your stuff.

Bonga del Sinu is good too.

 

Bogotá : doña Elvira very close to el campin. Typical good and giant

 

I've never had a hamburger in Colombia. I'm almost hesitant considering that it's ground meat from many parts of the animal. I understand that beef in Colombia is actually pretty good and most of it farmed locally? My concern is where does the other % come from?

Also, folks always make a note to claim we eat ANTS! Now I know this is a delicacy of some kind? But in Palmira the Ants I saw I stomped! ....so what's the deal with the freakin' ants?

 

Good stuff! I have a friend who's addicted to it. We don't hang out very often any more, but every now and then he invites me to lunch and most often then not is to have Pho

 

Never heard of hormigas culonas? They eat them in Santander. I had them once in Bogotá, they're not bad.
As for hamburgers, not sure where you've been going, but they're just ground beef.

 

Ants taste like salty peanuts. El corral has very good beef, grown specially for them.

 

crepes and waffles is great . tried it at the Bogota airport while I waited for my flight to Cali years ago

 

I had ants in Bucaramanga. tastes like roasted peanuts.

 

I remember I had El Corral in Bogota. I forgot was part of the city but it was a fancy El Corral next to a very known park ..I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
