DELAY IN COLOMBIA
HI ALL I ARRIVED IN MEDELIN THIS MORNING TO FIND NO ALEXANDER!
AFTER A WHILE I PHONED MY SUPPORT DRIVER AND IT SEEMS HIS CAR IS IN FOR REPAIRS AS THE TRANSMISSION WENT
HE TELLS ME IT WILL BE READY TOMORROW AND NOT TO WORRY! ALEXANDER SAYS HE WILL MEET ME IN THE AIRPORT AT 11AM TOMORROW. SO I GUESS IT’S BEST FOR ME TO SLEEP HERE.
PART OF ME WANTED TO JUST GO ALONE BUT THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT I GOT THIS HEAVY BAG OF LUXURIES AND EXTRAS I COULD TAKE HAVING THE SUPPORT VEHICLE.
ANYWAY, TRYING NOT TO STRESS TOO MUCH, AM ENJOYING THE COFFEE AND PUTTING SOME OF THE ‘ MEAT ‘ ON THAT LAST BLOG I WROTE FOR THE DARIEN, SO IF YOU HAVE ALREADY READ IT, I HAVE ADDED MORE.
HASTA LUEGO!

Good luck with the South American leg Tony. Make sure you have the support vehicle if at all possible. Sorry I didn’t get to meet you before you returned. I will get active again shortly on spreading the word for you and trying to get some support for you. (Was ill since new year and am currently preoccupied as I mentioned to you.) Take care.

Hi everybody,
Just received an email from Tony to say that he has been let down by his driver Alexander and the support vehicle. Tony is now intending to go it alone through Colombia. He is currently hiding some food and water along the road on the route that he intends to take. He hopes to be running on Monday or Tuesday. He is disappointed at this delay in starting Colombia but as we all know Tony “where there’s a will there’s a way” and if anyone can do this alone it will be Tony. I will update if I hear anymore news from Tony.

Thanks Ann, maybe Tony can negotiate a support driver on the way. Hopefully you do Tony!! Mind yourself!
