It did eventually stop raining last night and then started again with vengeance and went on most of the night and then eased this morning.
So we left in drizzle and for some reason headed South, I guess because of the mountains, and eventually curved round to head North after about 15 miles. The road today was very slow as we are once again winding through the mountains and also because the road was very busy with lorries and overtaking can be a little challenging. The other issue we have to contend with is that the lorries coming towards us use the whole road when descending to give them a good swing into the bends, so it is not unusual to go round a hairpin and find a lorry on your side of the road and you just have to squeeze up the side of them.
We eventually got to Medellin but the 80 odd miles took us 3 1/2 hours and we couldn’t have gone a lot quicker.
We went straight to the BMW dealer to pick up my tyres and see if we could get a service. All booked in no problem and they will be ready tomorrow at 3, not bad foa a walk in booking.
We got some advice on where to go and what to see whilst we are here and then got a cab to our recommended hotel, and here we are.
