Fri: At 0845 we keft our hotel for the 1.25hrs drive to Matasanos - another beautifully prepared site. Unfortunately the low clouds/ fog persisited throughout the whole morning.

Without having had a chance to fly, we left around 1245 for airport MDE (at Rio Negro). What should have been a 2.5hrs drive turned into a small 'nightmare'. The GPS led our coach into a road which became steeper and slippier the longer we continued. In the end it has been a 30% grade and our car couldn't advance any further :-( So we needed to turn around (not easy with only very limited space available) and head back down all the way. Still it looked as we could make the deadline (gate closure) at 1645. Unfortunately, just a few kilometres short of the airport a car accident blocked the road... We arrived at the terminal buildung at 1644 - no way we could be at the gate by 1645. What next? - we decided to have dinner first. There I booked rooms at Puerto Berrio: according to GoogleEarth 184km (and 3.5hrs) away.. But the average speed on Columbian roads is max 40kmh. So it took us almost 5hrs (!) to get there...
