Day 52 - Manizales to Popoyan

November 23, 2008 Motorcycle trip

A LOT of miles today - made up for the relatively small amount of miles we did yesterday.

This morning coming out of Manizales I was ecstatic with the road and the scenery - Colombia is one of the prettiest so far in my opinion - it’s lush, mountainous, well kept and great people.

On a more inappropriate note, I’ve heard several times that the Colombian women are the prettiest in the world, something that I have not attested to just yet. Not really fair to judge on just a few days in the country and not really knowing where to go. One thing we can attest to is that, well, there is something in the water here that makes girls grow quite large breasts! Seriously - quite curious. No photos - sorry :)

Going back to the riding - another great day riding - NO rain today and LOTS of attention from the locals - they simply love the big bikes and also LOVE the GPS of all things :)

Getting into Popoyan a car pulled up offering his help - he’s a biker as well and led us to the hotel we had found earlier on the internet - Dan Monastero - another very nice hotel!

Here’s the video with more info - seems like I am repeating myself on the video and text here:
