Day 10: Barichara


Barichara (pic) is a pretty small town an hour's bus ride from San Gil through stunning scenery. The streets are kept film-set clean by proud residents with brooms and litter picks.


The lovely, sociable main square is the focus for everyday life, where men gather to talk about cars and football, but sometimes get distracted (pic).


Tracey and I walked the Camino real, a 9km path (pic) through epic lush valley scenery to the tiny village of Guane.


Guane is a very small, very quiet little village where people take goats for walks (pic). Inspired by this, we had a fine cabrito (roast goat) in a local restaurant. One of the side-dishes was a sort of goat haggis, and the locals amused themselves by trying to mime the part of the body this involved.


After the hard work of a bus ride back we all deserved a leisurely beer by the hostel pool, chatting to some holidaying marketing execs who were still on London pace, and broke off from their cigarette now and then to check their tindr account.
