Medellin, Colombia, december 30th 2009
Just before Xmas I’ve returned to ‘the city of eternal spring’, Medellin by plane from Santiago. Ever since I left Medellin in september I kept in touch with my love, Diana. Despite all internet difficulties of trying to keep in touch, our contact became more intense with time & distance. So I decided to spend Xmas and New years Eve together. Se here I am, living togeher with my love in a tiny but very sweet apartment in Medellin surrounded by cousins, nieces, aunts, brothers & stepfamily. Love it!
I will also use this time for preparations for the final leg of the roadtrip. Deciding about the route, bankmatters, bike parts, e mail and so on. To my surpise my Bolivian angel also sent me a mail, in the days after my nighttime mountain adventure in the south of Bolivia I asked myself wether I had dreamed her up.
The bike, El Libertador, is safe in Santiago in the garden of on ald house next to a 1954 Chevy. Kiwi Dave and his men keep a watchful eye on her.
The picture is taken in the Atacama desert, about 50 miles south from Antofagasta, Chile and 150 miles from the next gas station.
Wish eveybody a superb and healthy 2010.
Thanks for taking intrest in my writings and website!
