We try our luck again to see if we can find the correct engagement ring and as it turns out yet again it was closer to our apartment than we thought. I found the perfect diamond ring with a little knot (with 6 small diamonds) and a heart shaped larger diamond in the middle.
For those interested the link to a few pics and video is the following http://www.gibraltardarts.com/ring.zip
Our luck has turned around and I even found a sports shop with a few dartboards electronic & bristle. They even had a full cabinet with darts and accessories (Harrows). For anyone reading this post the address is Almacenes Deportes Maracaneiro, Bogota, Carrera 15 Calle 92. Quite a find let me tell you as not even google shows any results on darts in Colombia as it’s a very very very new thing over here.
I go online to find a hotel in Bucaramanga as we will be heading up to my gatita’s house tomorrow for her sisters fifteenth birthday on the 18th April and the whole family will be there to meet me too. We did try our luck in obtaining a cheap flight but its simply too expensive so we will have to go by coach. I even called the apartment chauffer but he turned out to me more interested in my money and wanted to over charge us, so for being greedy he missed out. Our original intention was to use the chauffer as that way it was meant to be cheaper and a shorter journey as the coach does make too many pit stops in each main city on the way.
We get all the packing sorted and call it a night as we need to be up at 5:30am.
As a final note another interesting fact is that it’s very rare that you get asked for deposits on anything. For the ring which needed resizing I told the attendant I’ll be back in 1 hour to pick it up and no probs. With all the hotels/apartments I have stayed in it’s the same you pay nothing until you depart. In only 1 case on both my visits to Colombia have I ever been asked to pay upfront and it’s usually been because management is not Colombian.
Both yesterday and today I have sent a few darts related emails concerning the legends show, Med Cup and the final draft BDO diary which I received from Olly Croft. These things I needed to do as I will be without internet access for the next four days.
Night Night…
