Southbound again....

After 2 full days of Colombian bureaucracy we finally got the car out of the port - I swear I will never swear about a border crossing again....yeah, right. One more day to look around old town and get up to the convent lookout, and the we hit the road again this morning. It feels like weeks since we were last in the car together and technically it has been a fortnight since rolling into Panama city on the tow truck. So back to normal...

Cartagena to Medallin is a two day drive so we're stopped halfway for the night. I'm not actually inclined to go wandering round the town this evening and around here the foreign office advice map is not to go off the highway - they show a green safe to visit corridor along the highway but the rest of the area is an orange "avoid unnecessary travel" so again our insurance craps out if we deviate. There will be a couple more days like this in the south, but the centre part of the country we will be in for the next couple of weeks is ok...

So we are now further south than we got in Panama, so we are heading in the right direction again
