At 2 AM we were woken up by the sound of someone entering our apartment 😱. Gabriele reflectively shouted “who is that?” and for me, everything went too fast as the doors of the apartment closed before I could react at all. Needless to say, we were frightened and stunned by what just happened. I went out to the corridor and there was a young woman there. She explained that she’s a housekeeper and according to her schedule our apartment should’ve been empty. That still wasn’t enough of an explanation of why would you come to an apartment in the middle of the night?! We contacted the Airbnb host. At first, the housekeeper explained to him that she was told that there is an emergency which also didn’t make sense because how do you know about the emergency in the room that according to you supposed to be empty. Later, it turned out she was just planning to sleep in the apartment that she thought is empty. For the remaining of the night, it was hard to fall asleep as in our minds someone else was about to burst into our apartment any moment.
In the morning we went straight to the airport. We were happy to discover cheap internal flights in Colombia so we exchanged a 7-hour bus ride for a 30 minutes flight to the city of Pereira. There we jumped on the bus and after an hour arrived at the super cute Salento town. We climbed the hill to overlook the landscape and got served coffee with brandy by the local vendors.
