Two Up to Argentina
Made it across the Darian Gap on the ferry (Ferry Express). Big hassle getting tickets, police check, exiting procedures in Colon. All day event and then some. Ferry itself is excellent, but only 3 bike, 2 cars, 2 RV's, and a VW micro us on board. Currently in Buga, Columbia via Bogota. Roads good but a lot of twisters through the mountains with primarily truck traffic and occasional small motor bikes. In the towns everyone's on a small bike less than 150 cc (like fruit flies on rotting fruit), definitely part of the adventure. No issues with police or any one else. Bike service in Bogota at BMW Autogermana. There are at least two sale an that speak English. Talk to Jurgen if possible, very good with helping travelers, always ask for a sticker to get in good with them (great stickers). Good Hotels within walking distance.
