Hey Johan
Well, my own parking is filled up right now by bikes, but two houses down from me is a fenced, covered parking lot with 24 hour watch man that I also use all the time for my cars and all the biker guests. No problems!

At the moment its very quirt here in Cali, so you should be able to get you beauty sleep

Private room is 35.000 COP per night, Gps coordinates are in my signature here:
CASA BLANCA HOSTEL (& Motolombia)
Avenida 6 bis, Calle 26n, #57, Santa Monica Residencial, Cali, Colombia.
GPS koordinates: N 03.46925 W 076.52967
Tel. (+57) (2) 396 38 49 Fax. (+57) (2) 668 99 86
Skype: casablancahostel
Booking: Property search

We're in the north of the city sector Santa Monica, so should not be to hard to find coming from Bogota!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
