10/27 Met a couple other touring riders from Spain on the road. Oddly enough the didn’t even know each other and happened to meet up in Bogotá where they started their trip. Not too much else happened. Getting ready for a huge climb in 2 days. I heard it was 7500 feet from Barbosa to Tunja. Not sure if I’ll be doing that all in one day since there’s a place I want to see before Tunja.

My hotel picking skills need some work. For the 3rd night in a row I’ve picked a place that has construction going on. Not sure why they keep sticking me right under where they are working either. I could ask for another room but they don’t start making noise until I have everything unpacked.

It got cold last night. Glad they had blankets instead of a sheet. I’m down at 4000 feet tonight so it should be warmer.
