10/20 Besides a flat tire that took a whopping 10 minutes to fix the only thing worth noting from today is a sign saying Mompox/El Banco. I suspect it heads to the town of Tamalameque which is right on the river. Maybe a boat could have taken me there from El Banco and saved some time. Whatever.

Kind of a long day but even with some big hills at the end it was nice. As soon as I got into town it started raining so I went in the first hotel I could find (which wasn’t easy–this city is laid out really weird).
