Barichara

Well, what a nice place to say the least, finally making it there after making funny and entertaining detours we decided to take a break for a day and stay a coupla nights.

The town is small, very quiet and a must for a quite retreat, there is also a new cafe opened up and their coffee and food was very very good, wifi as well.

So we found our place to stay with the help of a teenage girl who was curious about Ellens presence and simply wanted to help, Colombians rock!!! 

Arriving at our accommodation was very easy, didn't have to dodge much traffic



The hotel had a narrow door, time to ping the cases off in order to get Maya in the door, add to that a coupla steps of a 200 - 250 mm high it was a slight trials ride to get in, once at the door we discovered it was narrower than the handlebars!!

No prob just a little stunt riding and we were in, park her up in the lounge ... just like home, she makes a good foot rest 



Wandering around town was very laid back and quiet, lots of small shops very nice people, when you get in behind the doors there is some serious art talent there with some pretty cool stuff, the one that interested me the most being and engineering head was this lion, incredibly beautiful piece of work and made from all sorts, I would love to have the talent to build something like that.

Few pics of details, sorry non-engineering heads.









There was lots of other stuff too





While we were there there was several weddings on so we watched one, Ellen was running around taking photos more than their official photographer.

Lady in red ... pretty but she had a look on her face that was longer than the horse above ... not sure why.



This is what locals do so I thought I would have a crack at it too, overrated I think.



I got a height advantage over him ... not by much tho 



At the new cafe we were in fact their very first customers firstly for coffee then for lunch 





The start of lunch 



A nice coffee



The town is very nice, huge paving slabs on the road



Everything is well kept and tidy, very nice indeed



Lots of restorations going on of older buildings too



Next mission San Gill ...
