I arrived on time (actually even ahead of scheduled) in MDE; passing through immigration and customs without any major delays. My guide (Edgar) was waiting and took me to my hotel in the city.
SUN (14.1.) As arranged, Edgar picked me up at 1000 and we headed for the local flying site: San Felix. There are 3 different TO's on this mountain; generally (tandem) pilots topland, but there is also a rather large LZ in the city below (in case someone sinks out) - but do NOT land there when it's staring to get dark - it is not a safe place!. As San Felix is also a well known sightseeing spot, it can become quite busy on weekends. But solo pilots (also foreigners) are welcomed to fly -after having paid a small fee. The longer the day wore on, the clearer the sky became. Contrary to Quito, where I didn't miss flying at all, I'd have loved to make a flight here ;-)

After having had a late lunch with Edgar, we drove to the airport for our flight to Bucaramanga, where we stayed for 2 nights.
