Day 103 - Saturday 12th June A couple of confusing bus rides later I found myself early doors in Salento, the beautiful heart of coffee country. I stayed in an old plantation house and spent the morning on a tour of the nearby coffee farm. I grabbed a kebab lunch in the old colonial square before watching a calamitous draw between England and the USA. Awful. An Australian couple moved into my dorm and we had an amazing steak menu of the day in town before headin...

Day 100 - Wednesday 9th June Left San Augustín early and took the 10 hour minibus north to Bogota. Ended up in The Cranky Croc hostel with amazing beds and managed to meet up with Felix in time to join him and his mates heading to some triphop gig that had been advertised. We expected some sort of bar somewhere but ended up being escorted into a proper auditorium and watching a Colombian experimental band. The lead singer groaned and writhed on stage before bei...

Day 99 - Tuesday 8th June The guys in my dorm went for a horseback tour on the valley for the day. It was my first time on a horse and the lack of health and safety is awesome.

A short walk from the hostel past a heavily armoured police truck and I was jostled into a small collectivo minibus for the 6 hour ride to San Augustín. A lot of people find that journey too rough b...

Otavalo Day 96 - Saturday 5th June I left earlydoors for Otavalo. Caught a wrong bus initially but 3 buses later I had made it to the biggest Saturday Market town in South America. Only minus both cameras :-( some culyado had managed to get into my rucksack, through food and clothes and taken them both before closing it up again leaving me none the wiser. Still don't know when it happened as I had it carefully with me the whole time but I guess near 100 days wi...
