Leticia Intermission

For several reasons, Puerto Asis is a dead end until we get certain things done that we can't perform here so we leave for Pasto with the bus from 16h.  Unfortunately we find out in Mocoa that no bus to Pasto went today nor will go, so we need to stay there for the night. Twice unfortunately, because we hoped to spend the night in the bus, saving us the cost of a room. As soon as we get off the bus, a pushy person tries to sell us a ticket to all places in the country and a room. The price he names us (5000 pesos) convinces us to check it out and we decide to stay in the hostel for a final price of 7000 pesos for the both of us (that is 23000 pesos cheaper than what we mostly expect to find). The hostel, which is basically two floors the size of a big room, divided by wooden byobus, making these the size of a bed + 15 cm, is right opposite the Terminal, which is very convenient as they tell us that sometimes a minivan shows up at 5 am going to Pasto. If this is the case tomorrow, we will shout through the window, grab our stuff and jump into the minivan...
