Start with a Bang

After spending a day in the sun in Miami and a long wait at the airport, we finally boarded our flight to Cali hoping that our bags made it from the day before.

The excitement of landing in a new place is always a unique experience ... this time, we have the additional uncertainty of what will happen after our landing at 8pm. Will our gear be there? Will we get on the bikes immediately upon arrival and ride in the middle of the night to catch up to our planned route? Are Colombia's mountains clear after the drug wars from 5 years ago? Are the roads in good shape to ride in the dark?

Landing now ...

Everything worked like clockwork. Landed on time. Immigration, check. Bags with gear, check. Airport pick up, check. Motorcycles ready, check ... and off we went.

Rode for 3 hours in the night. Great roads, amazing stars, great weather, and no cars. We arrived in Salento safely after an amazing little road in the mountains with unbelievably and never ending tight turns going up and down the mountains ... in the dark!

So here we are ... back on track. Great town. Great hotel ... very Colombian.

Tomorrow, we can find out where in the world we are.
