In this sector of Colombia soup made from beef bone and potato, as well as yucca, seasoned appropriately with onion, garlic and other spices is the ordinary breakfast. It is really quite good. My main problem was the time of day breakfast was served! As you might suspect, wake up is at 5:00 AM, a very quick cold water shower, and breakfast at 5:30 AM. Ready to hit the road.

This day we drove all day, had numerous incidents with vehicle mechanical problems and saw only one other ranch house, which also belonged to Nester. Our objective was to reach the car river barge with enough time to make at least 6 crossings before nightfall.

We did not get all the cars accross until 9:30 PM, and we were still 2 hours from where we were camping. Of course it started to rain, and the "track" turned into a large "mud pie".
