Traveling through Colombia to Ecuador
Posted by daveg under Uncategorized
We rode from Medellin to the Ecuadorian border in 4 or 5 days (which was WAY TOO FAST). Unfortunately, I’m running out of time to make it all the way south (.com) and don’t want to have to add the subdomain almost.allthewaysouth.com. So now, I’m in making time mode.

This is Mike and his hostel Casa Blanca in Cali

We met a guy from London who gave us some good tips as he’s heading north.

Colombia view
We found this in our soup at another restaurant.

This was one of the landmarks that I wanted to see on the trip. Here we met two bikers that had passed us the day before. They’re on a suzuki and are from Bogota.

The Church from the mirador where we first met the Colombian Bikers.

Here’s the couple again, with their bike

More head balancing. I hadn’t seen this since Guatemala.

Ask for directions and ignore what they say and just head the direction they point.

Gas is $1.50 a gallon in Ecuador

This graffiti is in support of che “We are realising Che”

“Paramilitaries get out of our country and city!” I’m starting a collection of Che graffiti.

Is that a finger you found in your soup?

Don’t forget tomorrow is Day of the Dead. I know it’s more of a Mexican observance, but I was reading that a number of South American countries have their own unique traditions of it. Just thought I’d remind you.
