After a surprisingly long wait in a village where everyone whizzed around on motorbikes or sat totally crushed with ten others in one car, I got long ride all the way to La Hormiga, close to the Ecuadorian border. The highways through the mountains and jungle in this part of Colombia were stunning, if sometimes abysmally unmaintained. At one point I saw a tiny monkey dash across the road and climb up a sign post. I squealed uncontrollably loudly, to the amusement of my driver.
A couple of hours later I was surprised to find us approaching the end of a long line of stationary vehicles in the middle of absolute jungly nowhere. For the first time in my life, I was completely unbothered by a traffic jam. The views were incredible!
That night was the second in a row sleeping on my mat on a hotel room floor after a fried chicken dinner, courtesy of a generous new amigo.
