Dee clutched my hand tightly as we made a rough landing on a wet night at Vancouver's International Airport. I made light of it thinking back to the close calls on our bicycles, buses, and hikes we've had.

| Dee doing battle with Bogota traffic |
It would be fair to say we were a little apprehensive about the final stop of our South American tour in Colombia’s capital, given its infamous history. A 90-minute flight brought us from the steamy Caribbean coast to bustling Bogota with its nine million souls. Jammed against the Andes range at 8000ft we arrived in the early evening to rain and cool temperatures, quickly donning our pants, sweaters, and rain jackets.
