Today again a sign of life. By the romantic area in southern Colombia, we have broken through to the border. The roads were sometimes quite scruffy. The whole area is dominated by inaccessible mountains and deep valleys. We were warned by police to leave the Panamericana not, because here the FARC guerrillas have withdrawn.
Now we are billeted in Ecuador and have at Graham, an Australian, in Ibarra. Graham is a very great guy, he runs a nursery here and is always happy to visit and talk to.
Some day we will spend more here before we leave for Quito. Incidentally, the weather here is just 80 km away from the equator, not as bad as we had expected. We take the evening more often at times of the heating and at night we need our thick blankets. We are also in the mountains at almost 3000 meters. Later.

After
have an exciting journey over the Cordillera Central, with almost 3000 meters in altitude, we stayed at a farm. The family was very nice and hospitable. The next morning we visited the coffee, cocoa, tangerine and banana plantations and have been blessed with abundant fruit. On the whole bunch of bananas, we will have to chew for a long time.
Now we are on the (link:. Hacienda Bambusa and spend a few days

After a few days on the beautiful caribbean coast of Colombia, we have set out in the South up short. Bogota before we came today. In Zipaquira we have just looked at the largest salt cathedral in the world. A church in a salt mine, the size of the Cologne Cathedral - fantastic.
Colombia please us so much that we are a bit sad because we only have 3 weeks left residence. We could well stay here for 2 months. We are also looking forward to Ecuador and Peru in Lima awaiting the beginning of April our Kathi on us. The rest later ...
