Day 8 - Day 13 (17th till 22nd Jan 2012)

Test run towards Bogota on a sunny day. Along Ruta (Route) N25 was fun indeed. The bike works fine and cruising at legal speed limit (100 kph) along this PanAmerican stretch was no problem. But you get bored quickly along this highway. I decided to get into the secondary road which alot more thrilling. Bends, slopes and potholes!
Along mid-day I arrived a town called Armenia. This is one of the many coffee plantation towns - the popular Colombian coffee. I had a cuppa there. It is just awesome.
My first impression of Colombia in terms country"s physical landscape, the vegetation and agriculture products can be summarised as quite similar to Mindanao. The land is very fertile.
On my return journey to Cali, it rained almost all the way but the test run is assessed as very successful with only few things to make good; head lamp bulb blew and a mul-fuction GPS power connecter.
