We have been pedaling more than 1000km through beautiful Colombia. We just left the green, about 900 km long valley Magdalena with its sweet smell, caterpillars and butterflies going crazy. The people have been incredibly friendly, curious and generous. 2 journalists stopped us on the side of the road for an interview for a national TV station. And the police yelled at us. When we stopped they offered us drinks and cookies and were good for a loud laughter. A car slowed down to our pace next to us and out of the window came an arm with a bottle of orange juice for us. The huge mountain ranges on both sides got closer and finally merged into each other which means this is the end of that green and lush valley. From now on we are in the mountains and everything will change. No more flats, no more heat, climbing into the Andes...
