San Augustin, Colombia
It takes 6 hours to travel 100kms by bus over a spectacular but incredibly bumpy road, the smart locals hog the front seats so we draw the short straw flying around the back. I worry for the box of chickens in the shelf above us, they don’t sound very happy either - its our first experience travelling with animals, a novelty for now. Half-way we stop at a little smoke-filled shack to be filled with a $1 lunch, the soup usually always has a big chunk of bony meat sitting in it that I never eat and am sure it gets recycled into the pot when we leave! Sometimes I smuggle it out and treat a stray dog.
