Medellin (Part 3)

It felt so comfortable flying into Medellin. I had got to know it pretty well during the 3 months i'd spent there studying spanish. Dani picked me up at the airport and after 3 weeks apart it was great to see her again.

That evening something fishy was going on. Dani had told me of the need for us to go to our friend Rahul's apartment but was being very vague about it all. I thought it was some sort of surprise welcome-back party so just went with it without asking too many questions! Next thing I know we we driving to pick up some random dude (who was carrying a big box) from the local metro station and then the three of us headed to Rahul's. We arrived at the apartment where there was only Rahul and Luke. After 5 mins chatting I was ordered to get the lift back down to car park in the apartment block basement and get something from the car. Rahul and Luke came in the lift with me, but only as far as the 1st floor and then left me!! When i got back to the apartment I found that a table for two had been setup on the balcony, and the random dude was now standing there holding a saxophone!! The guy then proceeded to play for us while my girlfriend spoilt me with a delicious dinner with an amazing backdrop from the balcony of the city lights of Medellin !! What an awesome welcome back !!

I spent the next week spending time with Dani and her family and catching up with friends. I'd arrived back in Medellin to say farewells to some of the friends i had made at language school who were now finishing school and leaving Medellin themselves. We had a few more legendary Medellin balcony barbecues, some ron-fueled nights out... oh and a little more you-tube karaoke!!
