Colombia part deux.
So my rear sprocket is not looking great, the old chain has worn fast and so will the new one until I can find a replacement... Can not get this part out here and postage is a bit dodge so hanging on till a part is flown out with either Marcel's folks or my Brother may come to Peru.

Anyways off we go Marcel on his Africa Twin, heading to Los Estoraques. A crazy rocky valley.
We cross the flat wetlands en route for a stopover at Santa Cruz de Mompox.
