Colombian countryside.

While watching what I eat and drink I still try and avoid the tourist venues because they charge western prices. When deciding where to eat I watch what the locals are doing and where they are going.

This restaurant high in the mountains was empty but was hungry I was in need of a rest. Ventured in and the meal consisted of soup with indistingishable vegetables and cubes of meat. The second course was

chicken, rice and vegetables. A bottle of Coke included all for the sum of $2.00

The kitchen and staff seemed clean enough. Very friendly and for some reason appeared to get a good laugh by my attendance.

Hundred of kilometres of mountain roads and the views have been spectacular.

Rode into lowlands where farming is possible.

Stayed overnight in a couple of regional towns and the people obviously care about their communities. Developing and clean.

Great for bike riding these mountains.
