Some were nicer than others but we almost always found them to be easy to take, usually clean. As for safety we can only give you our opinion, and we found them to be safe although you might sometimes get a bit of a crazy bus driver that goes pretty quick and passes where you think they shouldn't. I think I had to close my eyes a few times. ;-)<br /><br />We never took an actual city bus in Bogota so can't really say what they were like. I know that most were totally packed with people. In the city itself we usually walked almost everywhere and occasionally took a taxi as they were pretty cheap, especially because there were two of us. Hope this answers your question.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82686991424999988602016-01-25T19:33:04.513-05:002016-01-25T19:33:04.513-05:00hi - we are going to bogota in a few weeks - how i...hi - we are going to bogota in a few weeks - how is it taking the buses? safe? clean? easy?dorineohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037912187551911417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-22943842630727726522015-12-10T09:09:24.190-05:002015-12-10T09:09:24.190-05:00It has been nice but I really do miss our own cook...It has been nice but I really do miss our own cooking.

And, you never know what to expect because you haven't been bombarded by all the tourist flyers and pictures of a well known place.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-36990194081940180482015-12-10T09:01:33.137-05:002015-12-10T09:01:33.137-05:00We don't like to go on about about health issu...We don't like to go on about about health issues because our blog is about our travels but sometimes when it effects our travels we need to explain why. For this reason we haven't mentioned the rash as it seems to have almost cleared up and Kevin feels pretty much normal once again. He has stopped taking the antibiotics and the Prednisone as well as the cream. We will keep the leftovers in case he has another flare-up in the future, hopefully they will never have to be used again!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-80881039787397525462015-12-09T23:03:36.646-05:002015-12-09T23:03:36.646-05:00Nice break from the kitchen, eh, Ruth? :- )Nice break from the kitchen, eh, Ruth? :- )Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-74961148858898803472015-12-09T12:57:23.261-05:002015-12-09T12:57:23.261-05:00Amazon Industrial sometimes has fantastic deals on...Amazon Industrial sometimes has fantastic deals on raw material.
