Catagena to Medellin, still Colombia

We haven't updated the blog for numerous reasons......but here goes!

Catagena City


After leaving the coastal city Caragena we headed for the beautiful City of eternal Spring,  Medellin, but before that we decided to have a last visit to the Pasific ocean and stayed over one night at this little beach town. It is quite an famous spot for the locals, but nothing compare to SA beaches. This however spooked us with accommodation prices. After a bit of negotiations we got a room for half the price, but what we eventually saved on the nights accommodation the guy next door claimed for a meal of a 'modder' fish....R166 a head! Budget gone for the day!




Die volgende oggend was dit steeds oppad na ons 'volgende' bestemming, Medellin. Wat ons gedink het n vinnige drafstap van 300km sou wees, het Colombia se berge ons vinnig 'n ander deuntjie laat sing. Enige 'biker' se droom, letterlik honderde berge, op af, honderde skerp draaie, maar.....ook honderde trokke en elkeen dink hy is vinniger as die ander. Lekker ou rillertjie gewees. Na twee dae tref ons eers Medellin. Fietse het aandag nodig en ons spandeer paar dae in Medellin en onnodige dollars by die KTM handelaar.....ten minste is die baas, Frederick 'n baie aangename en hulpvaardige kerel en groot bonus, die man kan engels praat. Medellin....Colombia het egter 'n ander bekoring en die mense is fantasties en baie vriendelik. Colombia kry definitief 'n groot regmerkie!
