Today we are on the move. We ate breakfast packed up and were on the road for 10. Dad and I got out of town about 60 km when we saw 3 V-Stroms parked at this cafe. So us being the friendly canadians that we are, we stopped and said hello. The bikes were owned by a group for Colombians, and the all spoke english. Anyways after about half an hour chatting with these guys they paid for our drinks for us and invited us to join them for  a ride. After about an hour and a half ride we stopped and they asked if we would like to go to Santa Marta (an hour and a half away) or Barranquilla (5 minutes away) So dad told him about the problem with the mac and they took us to the mac store in Barranquilla. They took us to the mall. Tow of the other riders then said there good byes but the other rider with his wife (Jorge and Mary) came with us inside the mall and showed us were the mac store was. Once we were finished there they took us to the food court and ordered our food for us. These people were absolutly great. There wasn't enough they could do for us. We then said our good byes to them and exchanged emails. After we were finished our lunch we rode for another hour into Santa Marta. By the time we got into this town it was getting dark. We just grabbed the first hotel we could with parking. Tomorrow we will go look for the "Dreamer Hostal"
