Today is our first day of driving in Colombia.
The trip will bring us from Cartagena to Sincelejo; about 130 miles.
But first we put the names of Floor and Daan on the hood of the Land Rover.

The mountains are very, very steep.
The Model T got a flat tire, but Daan and Dirk put a spare tire on the car.

When we arrive near Sinclejo in the afternoon, our host Rodrigo Hernandez picked us up in his Model A pick-up.

He brings us to his garage in the center of the city.
At the second floor of his garage he has an apartment, were we can spend the night.

Today we have driven more than 130 miles and we did our first climbs in the mountains without any problems.
