        Only 2 days back was I discussing with my riding buds that you haven't posted a T-log in ages and maybe you took a break this year! Boy I was so very wrong.

          Salam Haroon bhai.. Superb as always..
          it was green all along.. waiting for the full log..

          One thing i like the most about your rides is that you feel proud in being an Indian and you always keep the flag in the front.. Way to go.. not many do so..
          Ride safe and have fun.

              Yes nadz, that flag is our identity. And also its a constant reminder that anything good or bad me or wife do on the ride will reflect with a similar impression on the remaining 1.3 billion Indians.

              Thanks chaosaddict. Its just another simple ride we did, so I hope you will like it

              ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

              Prelude to the ride:




              Colombia!


              Thru our queries on advrider we got a general idea about things in Colombia, while Mike at Motolombia, where we rented our motorbike (www.motolombia.com






              An indication of the route map of our complete ride in Colombia






              Arrival into Bogota





              Departing from our home city- Bangalore




              Midway arriving at Miami Intl Airport for a break






              Finally arriving into El Dorado International Airport in Bogota








































              th century church and also houses cafeteria, restaurant, souvenir shops etc. From the summit we take in the spectacular views of Bogota city that is spread far & wide into the horizon.



















              We take the gondola ride back and walk around the streets of Bogota and also taste their favorite snack found at many street corners- Arequipe (caramelized goat milk) sandwiched between two rice paper wafers.

                    Re: Fascinating ride

                    Day-1 (Bogota to Ibague)















                    Proudly affixing the tricolor













                    The customary parting shots










                    With a population of about 8 million, it is indeed a crowded city and the traffic is chaotic. While most cars were keeping to their lanes, the small capacity commuter bikes (mostly Indian made Bajaj Pulsars, TVS Apaches and Hero Hondas), are zipping past us and splitting lanes at will.


















































                    Anyways the ride thru the Andes mountain range was very scenic with a welcome overdoze of greenery all around. We stopped along the highway for lunch at a small restaurant where we ordered our meal thru a cocktail of sign language and google translate! Enjoyed the lovely food served by a friendly mother-daughter team that ran the place.







































                    The mother-daughter duo that run the eatery







                    Proceeding further our highway 40 passed the towns of Soacha, Silvania, Boqueron, Melgar, El Espinal, Chicoral and we ended the day in Ibague. We faced a mix of cool weather, rain, humidity and scorching heat(remember, we are close to the equator). Once in Ibague, it was a small town with tight streets and some dodgy looking streets as well. Anyways our GPS dumps us to the Hotel Dann Combeima. It is located in a nice part of town that is safe for 3-4 blocks all around and there are lots of shopping & eatery spots around.












                    (see google translate for meaning)


























































                    In the night we went for a small stroll within the safer parts of the town, finished dinner & settled into bed.
