Cartagena to Cali Colombia 17 11 11


Me and King Kong at the Festival  in Cartagena



The Festival wasn't that great , but we had a good day 


Festival watcher , they through all sorts of stuff over one another 


Mountain Top village on my way to Medellin , I parted company from the Aussie guys at Cartagena . 


The Casa Kiwi Hostel in Medeilln , I had a great time here with a bunch of young Canadian and American guys . They were all on bikes travelling around South America (but not all together ) . They were riding really old beat up KLRs ( just so young and full of life , without a care in the world ). They were such a fun loving bunch , one of the guys rowed his bike across the Darien gap in Canoe . He had also rode across America and I think Mexico on  a Unicycle , I haven't laughed so much in a long time .


A Banana Stop on the road to Salento 


River Side town 


Up in the Mountains again , some of the most beautiful in the world . The roads are great and the scenery is just fantastic 


More Mountains 



Salento , this little Town is famous for is Wax Palms and Valle de Coaca  . The Palms  are the tallest in the world 



Some of the Palms 


Just finished the milking , 

So far Colombia would be my best country , it's scenery fabulous and the people are just fantastic . I have not felt threatened at all , quite the contary I have felt very safe . Put Colombia on your to do list , it is fantastic 

The ride down to Cali (where I am now ) has been great , I have had no problems and the bike is Fantastic to ride . 

 Since leaving Guatemala I have done 6650 kms of pure joy , every day is a new adventure and you met so many nice people on the way FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!
