Popayan

We're in the lovely colonial town of Popayan. Yesterday I managed to get my favourite photo ever (see below) and also there was a massive Jesus parade because it's semana santa - Easter holy week - and they all go nuts for Christ round here. Tomorrow we're planning on going to visit a cool archaelogical site and then we have to make for the Ecuadorian border as we now only have 2 weeks to get to Lima - whew, we'd better get our skates on!

Don't believe what anyone tells you about the Colombian armed military police - they're a lovely bunch of boys and girls! Click the pic for a bigger version.

Email me (samwessel@gmail.com) or leave us some comments! It's great to hear from you all back home. I know some of you have had a chance to trawl through all the photos so let me know what you think!

Well as far as I can tell you've obviously been jailed as I can see that they've routinely shaved yer 'ead.

Hope you weren't subjected to lengthy interrogations and body cavity searches :oD
