Saturday 10 August 2019.
Highlights: No transit driver and initially no hotel room, finally arriving in Colombia!
Most of the night I found myself waking up every time I moved during my sleep due to a sore neck which was such a pain but by mid-morning it had remitted quite a lot so hopefully will be fully gone by the time the tour starts tomorrow.
