As you can see, dad is branching out and offering wedding photos. He tried really hard to get rid of the bridegroom but couldn't. We were actually in the car park and had just visited the salt cathedral which was truly amazing. It was a vast area about 200 meters underground. It took us 2 hours to visit and we didn't stop! we also did the mine trip . This involved donning a helmet and then going without a light holding onto the wall. this was supposed to give you...

We have made it to Bogota. The journey was very long and slow . There has been torrential rain here and this has destroyed a lot of the main highways and made it difficult to get from one place to another, especially as we have been crossing the Andes.we are currently at 3000 metres and it is sunny and hot one minute and then pouring the next!!!!!!

This was obviously a real headache and we were...

We crossed the border into Columbia on Monday and as usual joined lots of queues to get the paperwork done. At least this time the papers for the trucks were in the same buildings which makes a change as we have often had to travel quite a distance from the border post to sort things out.
