Protests inColumbia
I just had an E-mail from friends who say they have been stuck betweenPasto and Popayan for six days as a result of the Coffeteros protests. This is also being reported in the press. I am about to cross North into Equador then into Columbia.
Can anyone else add to these reports?

Too subtle by a mile, Mike. But glad to hear you're on dry land again and feeling subtly humorous.
Watatoo, check the spelling of "Columbia/Colombia" before having a look at your map.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
