 06:30 start, as recommended by local bikers |
 advice is not to stop on this leg ... |
 for fuel or food or anything ... |
 the road surface is rough in places ... |
 but it's a great road to ride |
 |
 |
 at 2,000m the road travels between 2 strings of the Cordilleras |
 the pics dont do this justice |
 |
 |

 |
 |
 whilst taking the pics to create this panarama I could see a few locals drawing close like zombies in the day of the dead ... it's amazing what propaganda does to the mind ... |
 |
 this scenery is like the best of Scotland, Wales & the Alps - in sunshine |
 beautiful road to ride |
 |
 Pasto |
 |
 arrive in Ipiales & take the best hotel in town |
 luxury with swimming pool, gym, breakfast & all for 48k Pesos (about £12) |
 celebrate with a beer ... |
 and an almuerzo |
