Today was supposed to be another short run. 360km from Pasto to Cali which we anticipated would only take about 5 hours although with the accumulated experience of these roads thus far one would think we would know better by now!! We left Pasto at 8:30 and got to Cali at 6pm which included an hours stop for lunch in order to get dried after getting caught in a torrential downpour!!

Beautiful Colombian countryside.

Colombia has a huge motorcycling culture. Not just small commuting bikes in the city but everything ranging from that to adventure and superbikes. They are everywhere and people and kids are all Bike crazy!!

Rory, an Irish chap travelling south from Canada down to Ushuaia that we met at lunch. Check out Rory’s blog of what he saw further north.

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
