Trampolina de la muerte

After having spent yesterday camping outside Restaurante El Refugio, we packed up while drinking gallons of hot tinto y agua panels.

We hit the "road" that's primarily barrio, trocha y piedra and rain, mist was steady. Along the way this stranger pulled over and gave each of us bananos. Again made me ponder about poverty and who gives the most..

After peaking the climb, we biked into a lot of ciclista braving lluvia, barrio and racing up. There were at least some 100 of these.

I started talking to a few and the sky started clearing as we descended towards Sibundoy where we stayed with a warmshowers host, Wilmer on his botanical jardin.
