Colombia Ecuador Peru

Riding through Colombia has been the proudest thing that I have done so far on this entire trip which started out in St. John´s , Newfoundland, Canada!!This ride has included 7 Canadian provinces, 38 United States, 70 % of Mexico, and each of the Central American countries.

I arrived by ship from Panama to Santa Marta 7 weeks ago. I spent 5 weeks relaxing , swimming, scuba diving and riding without incident all the way to the fronterra with Ecuador.

The scenery is incredibly beautiful and the people are wonerful. Many times I was touched by the words ¨Thankyou for having confidence in Colombia¨

I crossed the fronterra with Ecuador nine days ago. It took me about 45 minutes to check out of Colombia and check into Ecuador. Go first thing in the morning.

I am now in Quito. After changing both tires, oil and filter, I am now heading to the coast. In Guayaquil, I will catch a flight to the Galapogas for some more diving.

I will be heading to Peru in mid-January. Anyone interested in joining me as far as Lima or Cuzco?

ENJOY COLOMBIA!!

Ferry

FASTFREDDY: There isn't a ferry. I just shipped myself and Honda on a yacht from Cartagena to Porto Belo, Panama. Riding south in 2006 I shipped on a small inter-island banana boat. see BLOG at home
I am in my mid 70s and have ridden now through every Hispanic country in the Americas bar Paraguay. Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina are my favourites. Popayan is my favourite city in Colombia, superb architecture, wonderful people, good climate, good food.
Have fun and good riding
