All Well In Medellin Colombia But New Tram Only Under Test As Yet

apologies if we vavished so lets pick up when we were stuck at the airport while there was a tremendous storn here in the mountsins. we did eventuallu get away early afernoon and really too lste to get much done although i had a wander to locate the metro station got bus shots and then plucking up courage wandered of to cross over bridges and got video of the metro which is the only practical way as its fenced in all the time, the bridges give the river and mountains and are probably the modt common locations used. i got some truck shots its like the motorway runs straight through the centre of the city. i forgot to mention in cartegina we got diverted off the rouad and along the beach going to dinner one night i think this was a first even for me. well yesterday in medellin the girls did a morning city tour wgile i jumprd on the metro up to the transfer ststion withbthe translohr tram which hssnt yet started operation despite erronrous information published in press and internrt, i tnink they did a politically motivated kaunch once the major infrastructure was in. certainly no date posted for opening nbut it cant be too far away. there was no info, nobody spike any englidh but one of the french engineers who didnt speak engkish thankfully i can get by in french that there is test running after 5pm weekdays so i had to return late afternoon when light was awful and did see severalmovements not ideal for film or photosin lightthst timeof day but at least with thousands of police, contractors, meto staff and engineers all clearing the way it was safe not somewhere id wander alone in thedark even day time. meanwhile id ridden on themetro cable car above the slums and then themetro tourist liineanother cabkelineto the park in the mountsins got acabin to myself on route back down mainly good weather v hot.  then spe nttime seekingout the brt bus lines not easy highly segregatedbut didit. then did several hours filming the trucks and buses the occasional ancient lorry would appear there isv old stuff but thinonground but lots on the 40 year range. then made wayback to tram and caught taxi i. the dodgy area bavk to hotels where late appearance was causingalittleconcern. no hassles at all though spending thismorning by the pool then evening flight tobogota
