What an unbelievable effort to get past the tunnel! I remember all the trucks in Colombia. They were ever present no matter what time of day or night. Keep taking it one step at a time!

Glad you made it there OK. It was great to meet you and chat about things. Thanks for the nice comments. The TV show that I told you about is called "The two Escobars". I don't know if you have the facilities to do this on your journey, but all you have to do to watch it is log on to Utube, then type in that title. I think it's split into 7 or 8 segments. This is of no help to you now, but I believe that there is in fact a paved road over the mountain between Santa Fe de Antioquia and San Cristobal. It was there before the tunnel was built. I'm told the drive used to be 4/5 hours, but with the tunnel it can now be done in an hour. Did you see anything of Santa Fe? It's an old colonial town (at one time the capital of Antioquia) and is a popular weekend resort for "Paisas" (the nickname for people who live in Medellin). Anyway, if you'd found the road you wouldn't have had such an interesting story to tell of your climb over the mountain! Good luck with your journey through South America and beyond. I'll be following your progress. Hola Tony, I just finished reading your report on your travels through Medellin and south to Supia. Glad you made it there OK.
