In the morning I went to the bus station and found a bus to the border city of Tulcan right away. Unfortunately I didn’t find any international busses that would cross the border, so I would have to do so myself with taxies. It was a nice 5 or 6 hour ride with beautiful sights. Crossing the border was no problem at all, taking two taxies, one on each side. In Ipiales there was still time to take a bus to Pasto where I spent the night in Hotel Rey del Sur, which was a very good deal for Colombian standards, hotels and pretty much everything else here is more expensive as in Ecuador. The ride from Ipiales to Pasto is amazing, it’s a beautiful landscape and the road goes along a narrow and steep valley; just another route that would be perfect to do by bike. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of this region because the windows of the bus were so dirty and dark. Sit on the right side of the bus to have the best view.
