….

my dear friend,

thank you for your message

I am glad to hear from you

I have read your travel itinerary, remember that you have to

arrive at the Mildura train station an hour before the train
departs, after the train arrives in Melbourne, you have to take
a bus from the train station to the airport Tullamarine
International.

Remember to carry your passport and boarding pass by hand, I

want to tell you that the flight to Los Angeles is long, you
must rest.

Also remember that the boarding gate of the Bogota flight is in

terminal 5, therefore you have to take a shuttle from terminal
2 to terminal 5, you cannot delay because you may miss your
flight.

For that date, September 21, I will be working, so I cannot

pick you up at the airport, there you must first pass the
immigration controls and then you have to go to claim your
luggage.

Once you have everything ready, you can go to the safe taxi
points at the airport and ask the driver to take you downtown,
that's where I live.

You are going to have a lot of fun in Bogota, here you can
visit the Botero Museum, it is one of the most famous tourist
 sites for the works that are there by the master Fernando
Botero, you can also walk the streets of La Candelaria and see
its beautiful old houses or visit the quevedo jet, it is the
most beautiful square I have seen as well as moserrate, it is
beautiful and you can visit the sanctuary of the fallen man, oh
and I know you will love to visit the colpatria tower, it has a
viewpoint on the 50th floor that gives away the best views of
the city

Hope to hear from you soon

with love

Johana.
