January 23

From Medellin we drove to Guatepe and from there to Arceabuco.

Very poor road with lots of rough patches. 100 km. and it took us 6 hours.

The last part with heavy rain and lightening. Amazing waterfalls but also flooding in the valley. It was quite cool so we had a good sleep.

Manfred woke us at 6am. As a car had backed in to his camper, very little damage to his camper but the car was worse off. 

Visited the town of Tunja. Lots of historical buildings in very good condition and we toured some 500 year old churches. The countryside is stunning, of all the countries so far I like Columbia the best, it is also that the people are very friendly. 

We are now in Villa de Leyva were we have WiFi, HOT showers and clean toilets plus we are parked in a nice garden, it is a hotel with camping facilities. There are people here from Alberta, and believe it or not North Vancouver. Small world.

Again we will have a cool nite as we are at 7000 feet.

Hugs to all.
