Don't think I know anyone who has just gone to Colombia. Seems an interesting spot...big cities, Caribbean and Pacific coasts, rainforests, uplands...bit of everything really but probably suffers from a bit of a reputation.

A mate started a South American trip there and never made it anywhere else. Managed to blag working remotely from there for a few months before he came home. Few months later he moved to Bogata. Still there, obviously loves the place.

It didn't look great in Narcos.

I don't know. That Pablo fella seemed to love it and be having a great time. I didn't watch it all though - wonder how he's getting on these days.

Everybody looks like a dope at some stage, even the most experienced players in there. Its well worth trying out and a bit of craic.

Also most people post in fits and spurts rather than there all the time so if you go missing for a while its no biggy.

I never played Werewolf before and joined the Die Hard one after Xmas. I found the other players to be really welcoming and friendly and explained anything i was stuck with. I thought it was really good fun.

There is an answer, it just happens to be an answer only G&R knows and no one else could.

The game is essentially guess a number and person furthest away is eliminated. Like "guess how many jelly beans are in this jar, which is hidden behind this curtain, and no you can't have a look at it."*

Its much more fun than having questions that can be worked out reasonably by all you math nerds, and I am loving the questions.

Just use your imagination...



*you can use that one at some point if you like Greenie

I want a guess how many jelly beans in the jar question tomorrow

According to the Lonely Planet how much would one night in a double room in a top-end hotel in Colombia cost?

Does the price include breakfast, and if so is that bacon, egg, sausage, black and white pudding, a bit of liver, a chop, tomato, mushrooms, beans, hash brown, Ulster farl, and brown bread and toast with marmalade, together with a pot of tay,

or is it just a coffee and a bun?

In Colombia? I don't think so. I would say coffee and some exotic looking, eh, plants.

Out of interest was the whole honeymoon in Colombia or was it part of a wider South American trip?

Don't think I know anyone who has just gone to Colombia. Seems an interesting spot...big cities, Caribbean and Pacific coasts, rainforests, uplands...bit of everything really but probably suffers from a bit of a reputation.

Just Colombia for the month. We’d both spent time in SA separately, I had 7 months there


It’s a class spot, Bogotá and Medellin are party towns, there’s loads of adventure sports in smaller towns, then lots of islands to visit, Cartegena is as cool a city as you’ll see. Lost city trek is class.

Found it very safe, people are really friendly, my Spanish is poor but they have a great level of English. We had a DJ take us home to a house party in the Bogotá suburbs one nite, never felt dangerous.

Couldn’t recommend it enough, real diversity

So all answers are in

I'm thinking of starting a travel agency after this question, I would like all but one of you to book your trips through my enterprise

Thats right, only one of you went lower than the answer, two more were within €15 of the answer and everyone else was at least twice the answer


You guys suck at this game

Green&Red

Two people were over 10 times greater

The actual answer was 160,000 Colombian Pesos, which corresponded to €38.08 this morning. Hats off to Duffman who was very close.

I can only think that Aaronjennings is so rich he never needs to trouble himself with booking hotels. Maybe he thought it was how much to buy the hotel?

Well, put it this way - if you can get a top end hotel room (by whatever or whoever's estimation!) for a hundredth of what I submitted as an answer, I'm moving there next week!!
