If only...
Paul,
If only you had come to Bogota for that pint of bitter instead of heading straight for Cartagena.
Nah, you can´t live life that way!
I am really sorry to hear about this. I just arrived in Santa Marta and after a long trip in Colombia, I always give thanks for my safe arrival. The irony is that people fear kidnapping or crime much more than the real enemy of bad almost criminal driving habits here. Close to Bucaramanga, I was about 10 vehicles behind an 18-wheeler that careered off the road and capsized. As I filtered past they were trying to free the occupants. A little earlier and chances are I would have been overtaking.
I am glad the Colombian people won over your heart against all odds.
Sorry... and a speedy recovery.
