Medellin
Voted the most innovative city in the world with gondolas, trams, skytrains and public art, this city was easy to navigate and everything was very efficient - a nice change from other big cities! Previously being known as the worlds most violent city and the stronghold of former cartel leader Pablo Escobar, this city has come along way. Fun fact: Pablo Escobar was once the seventh richest man in the world (Forbes).

Heading out for a walk in search of a "castle" we ended up first at the largest most modern shopping center ever! Having a food court lunch we felt so awkward in the air conditioned mall. A taxi ride to the castle and we got to explore the grounds and see all the fabulously decorated rooms.
Felt like cinderellas castle
The trees had beards!
