Day 3, 4, 5 & 6 – Colombia


Where have the days gone?

Mountain driving is tiring and takes time – finally made it to the Ecuador border and have barely seen any military presence – even in the south – which is FARC held territory. Did you know that FARC is the richest paramilitary force in the world – with an income of around 500 million a year! I wonder if they need a BI Manager!?


When you do see soldiers that signal a thumbs up – I take it means all well/all clear ahead!? Colombia is a big country comprising mostly of mountains – no wonder they have a hard time rooting FARC and ELN out - Mountains are a tough terrain to fight insurgents – take Afghanistan for example
