20th February Cali 10 miles

Bit of a chill out day today so after a lazy start we get the bikes and head off up a hill near us to view some crosses. In the distance we can see 3 crosses on the top of a hill/mountain totally surrounded by ariels.
We have several attempts at finding the road and eventually find a dirt road which climbs and winds its way up the mountain. On the way up I meet a bus coming down, couldn’t think why as it was a bus and not a coach/tour bus, on arrival at the top all became clear, there was a village there called three crosses. A bit further on and throught the village are these three large crosses and a lot of ariels for communication etc.
A slow run down taking in views of the city and put the bikes back into the compound and of to Chipi Chappi, a shopping mall.
This is a massive shopping mall with a train and all sorts of other rides and attractions for the kids, tons of bars and naturally lots of shops, which seem to be dominated by clothes and fashion shops. A hotel resides at the end designed in the form of a half circle right on the end of the mall.
Just outside the mall, on the way in there is a puppy market toaday. Lots of people have turned up with puppies and seem to be marketing them on the approach road to the mall, incredible.
After a wander round we have a couple of beers and they give out free popcorn with copius amounts of salt on to compliment your drink. Then over to the food hall where there is every type of food you can think of so we decide to eat here and it is actually very good.
Enough for one day!
