I am now in Colombia, dispite all the negative press and coment, it is a really friendly and beautiful country. This is how I imagined a lot of  South America would be, jungles and ravines, rivers and mountains and warm. The mountain passes are quite something, really tight winding roads with drop offs that go down for hundreds of meters, don’t want to go down there. The drivers here are manic, so one has to look sharp!, hours of  intence concentration, yea  I have had a few close calls! I stayed in a hostal with a few other bikers last night, all foreigners and half of them broken from accidents, so I will have to be careful now. O ff to Medellin today, it sounds like a nice place, then maybe 2 more days to the coast, also many more mountains in between, have’nt ridden so many mountains in my life, really beautiful, I just wish that I had got a helmet camera before I left.  Must go now, more later Chow.
